How far in advance should I seek accommodations? I have a 504 and have had accommodations for all standardized tests I have taken since middle school. If I get accommodations for the LSAT will they carry into law school exams?
@brookedonnelly04 from my understanding accommodations are due the last day you can register for whichever test date you are taking. You have to be registered before you can request accommodations, so I bet the earlier the better. I would assume that they would have all requests processed before test day.
@ckelly24 it is a way for law schools to be able to gauge your writing abilities. Especially in the age of AI, it helps them understand if you can write without the assistance of other things.
I get accommodations for exams through my university (1.5x time on exams) because I have anxiety and ptsd which impact my ability to focus. I’m not sure if it’s worth pursuing accommodations for the LSAT since my diagnoses aren’t like conventionally what would be expected for accommodations. Any advice? Thanks!

I will need accommodations because I don't see well even with my glasses. how far in advance should I seek accommodations
@yvetteboyd I had the same question while reading the information
Nice, doesn't seem too bad.
very helpful info
To receive an accommodation on the LSAT, does someone know if a therapist will suffice? Or is documentation needed from a professional with an MD?
is there a way to get the accommodation time on 7sage? i am allowed time and a half, but i can't figure out how to apply that for my practice tests.
@belinda Check out your Settings -- there's an option to set global extra time.
Is the raw score what is used for admission and the scaled score for personal use, or vice versa?
@ReganWilliams vice versa. Law schools look at your scaled score
Cig breaks please
How do you schedule to do your writing section after or before you take the test?
@IsabellaSingleton you take the writing portion on the LSAC website afterwards.
@AlysiaOldacre I think it is also available up to 8 days before the exam!
I'm glad I knocked out my writing portion out the way long ago.
@rgarcia129@horizon.csueastbay.edu you are able to do your writing section before you take the LSAT?
Got it!
What is the purpose of the writing section if it is unscored? Who will be reading it?

@ygcastro Thank you for the explanation! I was wondering the same thing as I was reading

@MirandaClaireFawn to clarify i did well on a practice test so it’s not like I couldn’t do it but of course the time would hel
@MirandaClaireFawn It's absolutely worth applying for accommodations if you can get them.
first forever
@360lifechange first what forever?
