Additional info & updates

I took the LSAT cold (June 2014). I did not study at all. I scored the same on every section, except one, after the break, when a lawnmower at Slippery Rock University was mowing. Number of correct answers dropped by 10 on this section. I was diagnosed with ADHD after I took the test and I am now on testing my second medication. Still trying to get the meds & dosage correct. The first medicine gave me extreme heartburn, which I've never experienced in my life.

I have had ADHD my entire life, but recently sought treatment after medical professionals recommended it. I did not know that I had ADHD and the diagnosis was not related to the LSAT (but obviously explains it). Any help on how to improve my LSAT score under these factors and conditions would be appreciated!

I was dinged at Duquesne, but stuff happens and life goes on. May or may not actually study for the LSAT. Will re-evaluate in the future. This website is cool though and works in theory if people add truthful data. //Carry on!

May I ask how did you realize you may have it? I think I have ADD after taking 2 lsat prep courses and not getting anything past 150. Any information shared would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to see if I can get diagnosed or not.
