Same! The best thing to do is to study how you can rather than how you think you should. Overwhelm to the point of paralysis is especially common for folks with ADHD. So, if the task seems too big the result can often be procrastination.

Here is what helped me:

  • Delete social media from your phone. Social media provides a huge dopamine hit that people with ADHD crave (pretty much everyone does now). Your brain will crave it when studying gets especially tough or boring. Eliminating social media from your phone will free your mind to focus and help you reclaim your time. This was the biggest and hardest thing I did and it has made the biggest difference. Outside of LSAT, my state of mind improved and I have more peace overall. To say that deleting social media from my phone has changed my life is an understatement.

  • Drill in smaller chunks - 5-10 questions - focusing on weakness.

  • Join a live class (making an appointment helps). Check out the questions covered in the class and do them before the class. Any questions you have can be answered in class.

  • Feed your brain by eating super nutritious food before studying - no sugar.

  • When you find yourself zoning out and reading the same sentence repeatedly, you're done. Anything after that is counter-productive.

  • Plan so you can be fresh to take a full section - sometimes untimed. That means, be rested and well-fed with no distractions.

  • If you're too spun-out to do drills, sit in on a live class or review one that focuses on your weakness.

  • Do a single RC passage as often as you can.

These are the things that have helped me with LSAT studying. Deleting social media from my phone and eliminating sugar from my diet have changed my life.

Hope this helps!
