I LOVED seeing this thread - these are so good! I'm in the same spot. Did not know I was ADD until my daughter was born, turns out that is super normal. Girls with ADD are often overlooked in K-12. I did request accommodation with extra time, and I …

Take the first PT now. Ditch powerscore and move over here asap. The analytics section alone will help you improve - something I don't think powerscore can touch. Go slowly through the entire core curriculum. Do not rush it. Notes or no notes, a…

You are welcome to dm me - I'm in a mid career change here after lobbying in Washington federal legislative and regulatory affairs for the first part of my career. You aren't alone being older or doing something different - there are quite a lot of …

Oh bless you. First, go easy on yourself. Your score is not a reflection of your intelligence, and it does not define you. This is a marathon, and that diagnostic means nothing. You'll get to a point where you come to see that your PT scores will me…

My word, congratulations! That is a big deal. You've earned the right to approach this part of your story with strength. A question though, in real life, do you avoid the topic/approach it with any shame or embarrassment? Or, do you use the power of…

20 point climb is very doable - Started at 141, testing at 161 and still climbing. LOVED this post, thanks @Jeff, for perspective.

Agree. I think this is all a little bit like cross-training in athletics. Do consider slowing down. One guy whose story I read was former military and said, Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. The speed will come, but if I don't give my brain time to…

And my specific thoughts on RC- slow way down on the passage. Spend time there, even if you only do 3 sections. You will improve! Cheering you on.

Get a study group together or join one and listen to how other people process the information and questions. You will see improvement! There are lots of helping hands here! You can do this!

I’ve been meaning to send you a note- thank you so much for doing this last week. Just hearing thoughts on how to approach this test helped me see it differently, helped me think about it differently. Excited to see improvement. Definitely appreciat…

Thanks !!

If you listen to the podcast one of the girls does talk about this - I can't remember if it is #38 with Sami or #39 with Rochisha but what stuck with me about her comments is that in the real test under timed conditions you may not be able to trust …

That's fantastic, and encouraging. Congratulations! And good luck! Elizabeth

I specifically use it for flaw questions during review after blind review.

Clarify on the internship - are you on the Hill? If you are interning in a member's office, you will not get the most out of the experience if you need to leave the office and study after work. Capitol Hill time is like gold on a resume. If you have…

Are you trying to practice in the Dallas area, or anywhere in Texas?

Very worth it. JY's instruction has been so great for me, but it never hurts to hear material from a different teacher. This lady is a word expert. Literally. She uses words in a way that could provide different clarity for you on concepts we are te…

A written schedule helps. I had to look at my schedule and block time, try it and stick to it until I found what works. For me, I get two hours in the morning from 7-9A, I persistently carve out a lunch hour to study (otherwise I'd work through it),…

HAHAHA

Dallas. Dallas over Tallahassee every single time. And since most people practice in or near the city where they went to school, your law school location is likely to be your home for a very long time. But I'm stuck on $75k - $98k and the thought pr…

Me too, it's my weakest section.

Thank you!!

I agree with the person who encouraged hammering on the core curriculum. It really is that powerful. Also, I started in the 140s. Improvement to150s was taxing to me too, but I improved a lot when I heard someone suggest taking the last 5 or10 quest…

That is OUTSTANDING, and encourages me SO much. Congratulations!
-
This made me laugh out loud. UGH!

This is encouraging!

Sleep. Let your brain rest and go at it again. "Persevere: Continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success." Only, you have a track record of success and this is a HIGHLY learnable test, it is h…

I'm having this same problem - my study partner and I just discussed this on our call this morning. Is it true that you can take the test on a tablet with a stylus? I think I'm going to investigate this and see about practicing with PTs that way. I …

A mom messaged me a while back but THANK YOU for this note. I have what I needed. E

GREAT job! And fun to read your feedback. Way to go!
