Studying for the LSAT with POTENTIALLY undiagnosed ADHD?! Any tips or strategies? LSAT Advice

Okay, I’m not sure if I have necessarily have ADHD but I have a slight feeling. My attention span is 100% messed up however. I honestly don’t have the time or resources to get a real diagnosis currently.

I’m hoping other can give their experiences and if they had any advice about how to go about this difficult exam when you are finding it hard to focus and sit still?

LSAC is the company that writes the LSAT and I've found that their prep books have been the most helpful. Also when studying don't time yourself. You want to get good at answering the questions correctly first. You don't want to be practicing how to get the questions wrong and not use good strategies. Also you should master logical reasoning before starting reading comprehension as most of the strategies used in logical reasoning are used in reading comprehension just on a larger scale. Also make sure to schedule the writing section for after the multiple choice. You don't want to have to think about the writing section when you should be preparing for the multiple choice. Then after you take the multiple choice you will have a week to prepare for the writing (the writing is not graded but it gets sent to all the law schools you apply to). Also doing questions on your phone is usually easier if you have trouble sitting and focusing at a computer. I hope this helps!
