Hi all! I have several accomodations and sadly, LSAC keeps messing up my exam administrations. First, I had a missing proctor (in-person which made it worse) and then during my retest, they provided the wrong exam on lawhub. I'm not sure how often issues like this happen, but it seems like they are getting confused when administering/scheduling my exam (even though I have pretty normal accommodations). If you have accommodations (or even if you don't), be aware that your exam could get messed up as well. If this happens, please advocate for yourself! You can file a complaint online for a standard exam or via email for a retest. LSAC can cancel your score without impacting your limit and making it clear it is their fault for the cancelation, and could get you rescheduled for another admin without you having to pay for a new exam all over again.
I also suggest reading your accommodations out to the proctor and explaining them so there is no confusion. That said, LSAC has screwed up every testing admin for me which sucks after months of studying, making this LSAT journey last wayyyy longer than it needs to. And even if they provide solutions, they typically aren't that fair either. Very frustrating experience for me, but hope that other disabled test takers don't have these experiences as well.

Sorry to hear that. Definitely frustrating when unnecessary stress is added to an already stressful situation. I'm glad you handled it well and thank you for sharing for others to learn from as well!
I'm sorry; that's a really disappointing experience. Thanks for sharing this. There's not a lot of information out there about the process of getting accommodations, let alone what you can do when they're not met.
