Hi everybody! I have really been stressing out lately. I've been really harping down on myself about my current situation and I'm really frustrated. I know that there are some discussions similar to this, but I just really need some advice in real-time. So I had a bit of an existential crisis over the summer about what I wanted to do with my life and decided in July that I was going to apply to law school and take the LSAT. This left me with only two months to study, and while I studied about seven hours a day, it still was nowhere near the amount of time needed to study for the October LSAT. I got my score back and it's a 150, which I was SUPER disappointed with because of my UG-GPA. I attended two four-year universities and one community college. My performance at my first college was really abysmal primarily because of extenuating circumstances, a really shoddy mental health situation, and undiagnosed ADHD (which I recently got put on meds for). Realistically, I need to raise my score by A LOT to make up for my GPA. I am mostly wondering, based on what I have said, should I wait to apply until the next Admissions Cycle or not? I plan on taking the January and February test to improve my score and I've read that it might be a little late to apply to schools by the time that I get the results back. Let me know what your thoughts are! If you answer the poll please give me a reason why!

#help So I've been having a bit of a hard time... I can easily distinguish between conclusion, premise, and context. However, for some reason, I can't take it step further and select the correct answer based on the conclusion. I don't really know how to fix it! If someone could give me some tips I would be much obliged!
So I'm in the same boat! If you were approved for accommodations for the Nov LSAT-flex, you should automatically be give accommodations without having to request them. For example, I registered for the October LSAT-flex with accommodations and when I registered for both the Jan and Feb tests, it automatically sent an accommodation approval for both tests. You should have been given any/all forms regarding accommodations you were approved for. That info should be displayed in your LSAC account. I was emailing them today, and they gave me a response within like ten mins of me sending the email! I would try that if you don't have any of the accommodation letters displayed, then email about how its not displaying that info. It also helps to have a paper trail of any correspondence with the accommodation email. Also, I would check your email to see if they sent any notifications to you about an accommodation letter being posted to your account! Hope that helps at least a little!
So I took the LSAT-Flex in October and did not think it was that bad tbh. You only need your driver's license so there is no need for the entrance ticket. There are only three sections (LR, LG, and RC) and they open up the writing portion up 10 days ahead of the test. Also something to keep in mind, is to familiarize yourself with how the test will be given. The format of the test is VERY similar to how they do it on Law-hub so I would try to take a couple practice tests on there just to make sure you know how to use all the tools. There is also an option on both law-hub and here on 7sage to adjust any kind of accommodations you have (I have 50% more time bc of ADHD). You can also simulate an LSAT-flex test on ANY of the practice tests. I think there also might be a way that you can get accommodations to take the test in person, but I could be wrong about that and is probably only available to a certain group of people. Before I took the test, I made sure to get all of my things together the night before the LSAT. I cleared my work-space ENTIRELY because they have you show the proctor all four walls and any other spaces that have the potential to "hide" materials. I also reviewed the list of things allowed during the testing session and things not allowed during the testing session. For example, you are allowed a CLEAR water bottle without any stickers on it (I drank a smoothie while I was taking it and made sure it was okay with the proctor to have it). Also I've been hearing a lot of people talk about test-anxiety and the best thing that I would say about that is to find a way to replicate test day situations as much as possible; there is software that you can get (idk if it's free or not) where there is a proctor who monitors you while you take your PT. I know this might sound clique, but do your best to not cause yourself any extra stress; pretend you are just sitting down to take any old PT. YOU ALL CAN DO THIS AND ARE SO SMART AND I BELIEVE IN YOU! I know this sounds a bit preachy, but sometimes we can be our own worst enemy and psych ourselves out of doing something we KNOW we are capable of. (I'm totally rambling rn but if anybody has any specific questions about test day don't hesitate to ask me!)
I'm very interested! I've been looking for study-buddy/group to help me as I don't have anybody in my life studying for the LSAT! I'm going pretty ham on my studying as of now... I will def message you!
