  • Read a lot, especially from denser publications, academic articles, law journals, etc.
  • CAS is active for up to five years, so yes you likely could. You can start getting your transcripts and LORs in.

  • Yes, I really hope that Prometric is an improvement over ProctorU... though that shouldn't be hard.
  • @lucaschatterton223 said: As someone who has ADHD and uses earplugs to study, I recommend using the classic foam style earplugs, because as far as I am aware, they are the only type that is allowed during the actual exam. That might have chang…
  • I was in a similar situation and ended up canceling June, better safe than sorry. My PT average was 168, and I got a 166 on PT93 the Thursday prior (I was supposed to take on Saturday). I'm aiming for a mid-170s score, so I knew I could refine those…
  • I started using earplugs to study too. It also helps deaden environmental/background noise, so for example, at work I am able to concentrate better. I used to think I was someone who needed music or background noise to study, but it seems it was mor…
  • I'm assuming it will be on the tablet (Surface Go) devices that they also provided for test-takers as an accommodation. They must have a lot of these devices back from the original rollout in 2019.
  • I hope you postponed. I'm also in the high 60s/early 70s plateau and I'm aiming for better; August will give more time to study and refine those last few points and areas of weakness. Drill RC as much as you can.
  • Focus on slowing down and getting a good grasp of the fundamentals. RC is all about your ability to parse the passages for structure and argumentation/viewpoints, not about minor details or buzzwords. The questions also aren't that important. If you…
  • Thank you for the information!
  • I still see mine under 'Show Existing Drills'.
  • @amcgowan said: It seems really unfair that extra time on an LSAT isn't noted in any way. Just read an article about the socioeconomic disparities among students diagnosed and given "504" status which gives them special accommodations - it's b…
  • Thank you for these tips, I struggle with a lot of the same things. One of my biggest issues is fidgeting during tests... it noticeably cuts down my time. Has anyone been in the process of getting formal treatment/diagnosis while also studying for…
  • I am interested but evenings in CST don't work as well for me as afternoons or mornings.
  • Yes, there is a society for it at some schools (I forget, I think UMD may be one). It's an exciting and upcoming field for sure!

  • At a similar diagnostic and hoping to make a similar jump, congrats! Your advice re: skipping is something I've recently determined for myself, and it really does help with time on sections. I just need to get LG down to -0 and keep drilling it...

  • Maybe this is a dumb question... but can you not register for the US testing slots anyway, since it's all virtual? And I'm presuming you permanently reside in the US.
  • I have no better ideas than you, but this is exactly the case for me. -3 or -4 in my best LR sections, and anywhere from -5 to -9 on the worse of the two. (This is based on doing two-section LRs from old tests on Khan Academy and LawHub.) Coincident…
  • Not a tutor but I'm in a similar boat, LG is my worst section.
