Please tell me this is not real? Your saying I can get an online psychologist to approve me for documentation to get accommodations? I am all for accommodations for those who need it, but what is stopping someone from just answering in a way to be approved? Ugh
They claim on their website a 98% success rate in receiving accommodations, and tell you what you need to score on their anxiety questionnaire to increase your chances of eligibility. I honestly hope this is not real?

this looks very unlikely to work. They want to see a full psychoeducational assessment, and experience having accommodations in the past.
As well, it is very difficult to claim anxiety as a sole disability for test accommodations. the purpose of the accommodations is to prevent a disability related barrier, not to reduce stress on the exam. I'm not saying its not possible but you'd have to really argue above and beyond, because a stress questionnaire really is not sufficient.
As someone who actually needs (& has) accommodations this is mind boggling. But maybe it's for those who never had previous accommodations in their past schooling and think they need it for the LSAT? I'd be interested to see if anyone had actually used this and it worked, since LSAC is very VERY specific with their accommodation's requests (they can't just hand out extra time or something else like candy or else everyone would use it!). For me, I had to submit documentation stating I had accommodations in middle, high school, undergrad, and master's degree, and that was approved.
It's interesting because this psychologist or whomever reviews it might be legit enough to surpass all of those documents/proof LSAC requires, but only being based off of a short survey asking if your face is flushed or you have indigestion etc is interesting!
