You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.

  • sign into your lsac
  • click the LSAT dropdown at the top and select "request or modify accomodations"
  • scroll down and hit "request accomodations"
  • You'll need to submit two forms: Candidate Form and a Qualified Professional Form

    You submit and wait to get an email. If you submit both forms it's very likely you'll be granted all accommodations you request.

    Hope this helps!

    I have 3 copies of the Official LSAT SuperPrep and 1 copy of 10 Actual LSAT (29-38).

    Some of them have very light writing on them that is easily erasable.

    All items free, you just have to pay shipping. Or if you're in LA area, I can meet up with you.

    Mods please let me know if not okay to post this.

    Hello everyone,

    I know that if you talk during the LSAT Flex exam, you automatically get DQ. However, and I hope I'm not alone in this, sometimes I whisper to myself or mouth to myself as I'm doing LG or LR. Does anyone know how strict this no talking/mouthing policy is? Thank you!

    Greetings 7 Sagers,

    I was hoping to get some insight on the ethics of contacting schools for application advice. Is it acceptable to touch base with a school and inquire about advice they can give you as a JD applicant? I'm sure there are several people in this community who are either 1) waiting for a decisions, or 2) on the waiting list, and would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks!

    Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!

    I totally forgot about the scratch paper. The thing is right after I finished it was completely silent for a minute or so, so I just closed the connection with proctor u.

    Was I supposed to rip up scratch paper in front of camera? Obviously after I realized this I did throw it away and ripped it up, but hours after. Will people be penalized if not ripping it up in front of camera afterwards?

    Hi all I was hoping I'd crush PT74 with the +50% accommodations box ticked as I was recently approved for accommodations. I found some very interesting points:

  • I didn't perform astronaumically better with more time
  • The MORE time I spent on a question in LR and RC (especially taking longer than 3:00), my chance to miss the problem were REALLY high at 73%
  • In LG almost all the problems I missed took less than 1:00.
  • For RC and LR questions that took me over 3:00, I got 3/11 correct. That's 27% of getting a question right if I'm going past the 3:00 mark; I think this shows there's a fundamental problem going on for that question that I'm just not gonna figure out, so guess and move on basically, don't waste time and energy.

    RC and LR questions from 2:00-3:00 I got 10/14 right which is 71% accuracy.

    RC and LR questions from 1:30 - 2:00 I got 9/12 which is 75% right.

    RC and LR questions that took 1:00 - 1:30 I had 86% accuracy, getting 25/29 questions right.

    Alarmingly, for questions that took less than 1:00 on LR and RC, I had 100% accuracy, getting 16/16 right.

    What's going on for LR and RC is I basically knew the answer fast or not at all. More time doesn't didn't mean significantly more accuracy for me.

    For LG: oddly the results were not the same at all for answering fast. As a caveat, I do consistently go -0 to -2/3 with more time, on one game in particular I got 3 wrong in a row which is not usual for me.

    (1:00, I got 70% 7/10 right

    1:00 - 1:30, I got 87% 7/8 right

    1:30 - 2:00 1/1 questions right(/p)

    2:00 75% 3/4 right

    For LG I missed 5 questions total and 60% of those incorrect answers took me less than a minute to get wrong. My takeaway from this would be don't rush, with extra time focus more on POE, and I need to keep foolproofing. What's especially odd is generally if you make a fundamental mistake you end up coming across an LG question where things just don't feel right, or you can POE all the answers, indicating you made a mistake in setup or rules. That didn't happen here so I need to find out what went on.

    This is a sample size of only 1 test so take this with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the read

    I took the June LSAT a week after my grandfather passed away. The week leading up to the exam was one of the most emotionally draining/stressful weeks I've experienced to date. I ended up scoring 3 points short on my PT average/goal score, but also 3 points higher than my take in November. I've decided to take the September test. Any advice on getting back into the groove after a month off? I'm planning on taking 1 PT/week and BRing during the week while working full time.

    Hi there!

    So I have gone over the lessons and listened to all of the videos. I tend to print out 10 clean copies of the problem sets they give us in the lesson and then I drill those. I'm wondering if you still need to drill prep tests that are "Deprecated"? To be honest I have no idea what the Deprecated part means.... I know that it means that it will be deleted soon...so should we still drill these as well? I'm hoping that if I drill hard enough on the problem sets that they give us per section then that will be enough and then I can go ahead and take a full on prep test.

    Thank you!

    Seems to be that I am getting the most points off because of my lack of good timing. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can improve this? I want to take the LSAT in June before LG is gone, being that LG is my best section.

    It is currently April 5, 2020. I am taking the LSAT for the first time August 28th. I am also planning on taking the October 3rd test. For my study schedule, should I put my "end" date as August 27th or October 2nd? I originally put August 27th but then I thought I should spread it out so I am still actively studying up until the October 3rd test. Should I put my "end date" somewhere between the two exams?

    I am currently studying in China for a year and planning to take the LSAT in April. I cannot find much information about this on the website but I was wondering if the test is being administered at test centers in Beijing. If not, how is the platform accessible remotely given the restrictions on google and similar websites? Has any of you taken it in China?

    Any advice would be helpful!

    Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.

    LSAT

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone know of companies that will give discounted or even free prep material if I was approved for the LSAC fee waiver?

    Please detail any information you feel is pertinent to me as it will be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello,

    I was wondering what the 8 digit HTML keycode is on the ProctorU system checkup? Is that the same thing as the LSAC account number?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm interested in Criminal law. My goal after law school is to get lots of experience working as an ADA before moving into the federal arena. Does anyone know a website where I can compare the salaries of ADAs across states? It appears the average starting salary is about 63k a year. However that 63k translates differently given the varying costs of living.

    Really trying to find that sweet spot a low cost of living and average salary...and avoid staying in my hometown, which is Baltimore MD.

    Ironically, Baltimore City ADAs make 63k, the cost of living is manageable, and there's plenty of crime to keep me busy.

    Any other states I should look at for law school?

    Hi,

    I was looking at the Preview App feature and saved documents in Word, but can reformat if needed, maybe to PDFs, and when I paged through an application, there were some blank pages, I think because the essays would have elapsed onto a new page if they were a little longer. I'll try to reformat later, but does anyone have other strategies that can be used to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

    Hi everyone!

    Some of you may remember I made a poll about a month back regarding my uncertainty about taking the LSAT in December, well, after reading everyone’s advice I opted for the best choice: take the LSAT at a later date!

    Before the deadline, I sent LSAC an email with an attached refund request, which they provide online. I haven’t received any response from them, LSAC I mean. Should I go ahead and withdraw? I don’t want to lose my refund, but more importantly, I don’t want to be marked a no show for the December LSAT!

    Any thoughts? Have any of you guys had this experience ?

    Thanks :)

    Hey so I was doing some surfing on eBay for cyber Monday of course, and I came across someone selling their LSAT materials, I guess they got what they wanted out of them. This is the most interesting one I saw, a bundle of PT 7-80, which is awesome! Go get it folks! There’s also the Powerscore trilogy and The LSAT Trainer on there as well.

    I need some insight. I Took the LSAT dec 16 and was not nearly prepped. I decided to retake and have been studying hard since april or so.

    Im at a strange phase in my studying where i am scoring around and sometimes above my potential but iv only taken 7 tests. Ive done multitudes of timed sections and drilling.i feel very confident, but my brain is starting to get toasted from studying.

    I am signed up for september. And until this week i was planning on postponing till December. But now i kinda wanna take it.

    My concerns are as follows. I have foolproofed 1-40 games. I also proofed the games i have taken in PTs. But i still havent seen alot of games. I also havent really touched the 60s and only took PT 78,70,71,72,60,61,65.

    So i have alot of material i am not exposed to..

    Averaging a 170, havent gotten above a 174 yet.

    What do you guys think? should i postpone?, or take it with a slight chance of a cancellation?
