I find that I do better on questions in which I have no prior knowledge of, such as this one about sponges, because I pay closer attention to them. If only I could adapt the idea that I know nothing about any of what the stimuli in LR questions state, I'd be better off.

Just started mine a few days ago, heard about 7Sage from a family friend who studied for the LSAT a few years back. Good luck!

I myself was born deaf (prelingual) and have used a cochlear implant since I was 18 months old. It sits over my right ear, and I have worn a cochlear implant nearly every day of my life since then. When I was young, I was behind in speech and reading (both stemming from my challenges using a cochlear implant). I remember being pulled out of classrooms to work with speech paths down the hall. In short, my life has been affected tremendously from my deafness, a few negative, but many positive.

To this day, I have a difficult time communicating with people who have accents, with people over the phone, and even with people who speak differently, such as young children still learning their ABCs and elderly folk who draw out their words slowly.

I recently found out that I qualify for some accommodations on the LSAT, but it does not include extra time (one that seems to be the source of conversation on this thread). I have absolutely no problem at all with someone telling me their frustrations with this issue, as I see it as a chance to educate others about my cochlear implant and deafness, as well as my experiences with the Deaf Community. My disability does not define me in any way, but I define it in absolutely every way.

I wish I could tell everyone this (whether you have a disability or not): stop being a victim, and make the best of it. If you have a disability, please educate others about it. If you don't have a disability, go meet someone who does, they just might inspire you :)

Happy studying to all! Feel free to chat with me anytime, and I'll tell you more about my story if you'd like!

Congrats! I just started my journey this past week and hearing others express their confidence after seeing their results makes me want to study harder.
