Student Ben asks the guys if they have any advice for LSAT students with ADHD. Nathan recommends reading ADHD 2.0. The book explains that people who have ADHD tend to get bored quickly when something’s too easy and give up quickly when something’s too hard. For this reason, it’s important to find your right difficulty level while studying. LSAT Demon’s smart drilling feature does this for you! The algorithm adapts to your skill level and selects questions that are hard enough to challenge you—but not so hard that you can’t figure them out. As your skills improve, the questions gradually become more difficult.
