Help with my approach to a 1 month study session Forum

[longhorn65]

Well all, after an extended period of testing and dr. visits I have recently learned I have extreme ADHD and that I have been vastly under performing since reaching college because of this. So now knowing this I have some medicine and I am reevaluating my approach to the LSAT. Here is my plan for the next month please give any input you see fit,
1.(week 1) Go through the PS LR bible, evaluating in depth what each "hint" means for me and my approach
2. drill LR question consistantly each day from here on out. Go through PS LG bible, breaking the games down my group and finding an efficient but consistant approach for each game
3.(week 2)focus on the reading passages, via drilling a ton, and 3 practice tests this week
4. (Week 3) at minimum 3 practice tests this week and non stop drilling
5. (week 4) Drill weak points and PT focusing on efficiency and testing shortcuts (as in skipping around to get the most correct answers possible)
TIME is clearly tight for me but this isn't my first time studying for it so I think this is my best approach, What do you guys think?

Be sure to carefully monitor for burn out. But if you can handle the increase in studying without taking a toll to you mentally/physically, then good luck!

what range are you PTing in now and what is your goal

I have not PT'd in awhile but when I was I was around 154 but timing was killing me and with the ADHD under control that should be significantly less of an issue i want 165+

you probably won't max out your score in one month
not to say it's impossible
but most people need a few months to get there

well I know the test pretty well Ive studied much longer than 1 month this is just my approach now that Im aware of ADHD and Im trying to make better connections with each type of question in order to have quicker recognition and thus quicker answering.

ANYBODY?

You're asking for a lot. Going from a 154 -> a score that makes attending law school worthwhile in one month is an onerous task, to say the least. The fact that you are now better medicated is good news, but still beside the point.

Furthermore, the fact that you already admitted to "vastly under performing since reaching college" does not bode well, and probably means you will need a killer lsat score in order for law school to be a good choice.

Don't rush into this test. It's not going anywhere.
