In the past those who wrote with accommodations did not take the variable section. Starting in September on and onward accommodated testers will be taking the test with the variable section.

@ryandoon215.lopez You've been asked about the email several times now and have failed to provide any evidence of your claims. You could easily just copy and paste the specific clause of whatever letter or email that you received indicating that this change had been made. You posted a statement that is obviously causing some people unnecessary anxiety, which you could easily remedy by just providing evidence, and telling people repeatedly to "just email LSAC" doesn't really help. I think everyone who has accommodations is aware that they could email the LSAC with that question, however it takes time for them to respond, and you could easily provide confirmation immediately.
For people like me who have 2x time limit, I'm basically screwed. I will be in that testing site for nearly 8 hours, I better get a lunch break! I think it's inhumane and complete and utter BS. They are basically telling me I have to sit for almost 8 hours with only a snack and bottle of water, and I'm not able to use the bathroom because I will lose time from my exam? I'm no lawyer or anything (yet) but I definitely see another lawsuit coming! This completely goes against the Americans with disabilities act!
Thanks for providing some form of proof. LSAC's emails are not confidential unless you're writing personally to them, or unless it states that it's confidential. As you can imagine, when someone asks for confirmation on your findings and all you get in reply is "email accom", it'll panic people and discredit your original post. If this comes into effect in September I'm sure we'll all appreciate your heads up, but until them I'm going to close this thread. If anyone has emailed accommodations and gets a reply, please make a new thread and mention myself and @ryandoon215.lopez in it so we can all get this clarified. Thanks, guys.
everyone I would not do this to lie or harm this community. Never-mind that I posted it then. I was trying to help by posting this @7sagestudentservices The only reason I have not posted the email, is that those kind of things I dont know the degree of confidentiality. That fact that anyone would think I would just be randomly making this up would be ridiculous. I was trying to HELP to inform everyone.
the email i received had the following in it. and I am copying and pasting this
"When LSAC was annotating the scores earned with additional test time, the unscored section was not always included in each test administered. Beginning with the September 2016 test administration, all tests have five multiple-choice sections."
and NO i would not go out of my way to create a thread RANDOMLY. I WAS TRYING TO HELP. and that is why i asked everyone to email accom at lsac. because who knows maybe someone from lsac emailed me the wrong information? but i highly doubt it.
Okay, dude, this has really gone on for far too long. Either take a screenshot of the email that's stating this and causing people with accommodations so much stress like so many have asked you SEVERAL times, or kindly stop stirring everyone up unless you want a vacation from the forums.
I'm 100% certain LSAC would email EVERYONE with accommodations to let them know about this change is coming into effect and not send a lone wanderer onto 7Sage to scare the crap out of everyone, or at the very least post about it on their website. There has been no changes to the accommodations section on their website, so I'm certain Mr. Lopez here is just trying to make you guys sweat a bit.
@ryandoon215.lopez HOW DID YOU FIND OUT! IF YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL JUST SHOW US! IT IS GETTING RATHER ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING BECAUSE ALL YOU ARE SAYING IS EMAIL LSAC. IF YOU HAVE PROOF JUST SHOW US! IT REALLY ISN'T THAT HARD!! YOU ARE CREATING UNNECESSARY ANXIETY AND CAUSING MANY TO BECOME STRESSED. SO FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, MAY YOU SHOW US!
OP, I'm sorry for how off topic this thread has gotten lol
Im from India too! yay! Also minored in Arabic so I can practice some arabic with y'all hehe :)
Small world @doneill3389668 ! I'm from Buffalo
Mmm...Our food can get you fat in no time.
@matthewaqeel196, I'm going to dance to "Jai Ho" once I am done with LSAT once and for all, haha.
Lol Mr. Lopez you're dealing with a bunch of future lawyers here. Hearsay just won't cut it with these guys :P
#ShowUsTheProof
Yeah it just seem like it would be counterintuitive and counter productive on 2 fronts. First is that these people that get the extra time, some of them have conditions like add that make it difficult for them to work for extended period and that are specifically the reason that they got he extra time. Second, the purpose of the experimental section is to determine the curve for standardized application, it wouldn't make sense for them to give that to people testing under irregular conditions because it wouldn't provide any useful data for determining the curve for standard administration.
@brittanycourville573 i just honestly find it hard to believe that the people who make an exam about logic seem to lack it themselves.
Yeah because that's not messed up.
Note I will not be taking the LSAT with accommodations but if this holds true LSAC has sunken to a whole new low.
May you please provide some proof to this? I believe the LSAC would have notified individuals about this. They are cruel but not that cruel
@ryandoon215.lopez that isn't true called the LSAC a week ago and they said if you have extra time you don't take the experimental.
so can everyone PLEASE even for my sake email LSAC. and Ask because if we get a different response from ACCOM then I will go back to them and ask them how on earth they gave me this information! I was asking you guys to email, not to be stingy, but to build on my findings.
Seems others on here who are familiar with LSAT accommodations agree with this...I want to say don't worry about it and just move on because stressing over a theory isn't practical, especially if you're sitting for the near future LSAT(s).
@476.rizeq Thank you! I tried calling this morning and they said you have to email them to make sure, but the lady said she seriously doubts that we have to take the experimental. She told me to email accommodations to get an accurate response. Its just frustrating that he says all this and just repeats the same thing. People like myself, don't have accommodations for no reason, we actually have disabilities that hinder us from performing to the best of our abilities given our situation. I think @ryandoon215.lopez doesn't understand that he is making it rather difficult for us and making things ten times worse.
They can't give a response over the phone. We've got to wait for email.
I sympathize with @matthewaqeel196 frustration. This is major news and if it is indeed true, the way you guys have been studying will have to be altered essentially because now you have to accustom yourselves to a 5 section LSAT which is a huge change. I wish Mr. Lopez would just #ShowUsTheProof
In the meantime has anyone emailed or called LSAC about this? It's Monday so they're available.

@ryandoon215 I wish we can vote them out, like those reality game shows lmao
I smell a troll... because that is true.
I've never posted on here but I will be really screwed if this is the case. I already feel it's not too fair to not administer an additional break considering how long we're testing for. I have such difficulty sustaining attention for essentially 5 straight hours. I cannot imagine adding another hour onto that.
