Would love to see more flexibility with the timer settings.
I receive double time accommodations, and right now it caps out at 200% or you have to go all the way to unlimited time. There are definitely situations where I’d want a little more time while still keeping some pressure. Something like 225% or 250% would be really useful.
Unlimited time doesn’t really solve it because then I can sit on one question forever, which isn’t how the actual test feels.
Also, the average test taker can already give themselves extra time in practice pretty easily. It would be great to have that same flexibility on the accommodations side instead of being locked into preset limits.
Honestly, even just the ability to manually set the clock would fix this. Being able to choose your own section time would create that missing middle ground.

Hi!
If you click on the timing settings for drills, sections, PTs, you scroll down all the way down and you can see custom timing settings.
I'm not sure what 225%+ looks like for the average time per question, but it calculates it for you as you increase the time. 😊
@Bobby68 I wish that was the case, but for whatever reason the timer is capped at 200%, you can't increase it to 225% or even 201%. However, there is a glitchy ability to change the time per section up to 99:99 minutes. It would be great if the timer wasn't capped and was way more user friendly to adjust.
@boomboom You can change the settings, it might be glitchy but it saves your last input. I would mess round with the custom timing, write it down on a paper to remember for next time, because extra time is for official LSAC accommodations settings and what you are looking for is specific for your drilling needs.
I personally set my sections unlimited and rely on my own timer. I get disrupted a lot so it makes sense I don't stress over a countdown when things disrupt my section.
----------
82:15 is the timing for 225%.
87:31 is the timing for 250%
Add/remove minutes as needed.
Hope this helps!
