Hi 7Sage Community, I took my first practice test, with no knowledge of the LSAT back in late June 2017 and got a 148. I've been studying since then, but not as much as I could, and last weekend my score was 158, and 160 BR. I'm wondering if anyone on here has started with a score under 150, and excelled past 170? Is it possible if I put the time in before the June 2018 exam?
I've always done horribly on standardized tests, and the LSAT is no exception, even though I understand the tricks of the test makers a lot more than I ever understood the SAT (which I put minor time into studying for because I lacked self-discipline and time management skills in high school, even though I got all A-s and As in my Honors and AP classes through hard work and cram studying). I also have ADHD so that really doesn't help with the challenging time constraints of the LSAT.
Thank you!!
Hi All,
Thank you so much for your responses, they are very inspirational. The largest factor discouraging me from taking the LSAT in September is the 8:30 start time vs. the 12:30 start time in June. I know I will do exponentially better if I take the LSAT in the afternoon instead of the early morning.
I've also considered submitting my paperwork from a licensed psychiatrist with the ADHD diagnosis, but was skeptical it would be recent enough, as the testing was done in October/November of 2014. I've even considered getting a neuro-psychological test performed again to more recently have a confirmed diagnosis for ADHD but was unsure if it all could happen before the May 1st deadline for registering for the June LSAT.
@ --it sounds like you received accommodations? If so, how recent was your ADHD diagnosis to the test date?
Thanks again!
