Study Tips With Dyslexia

I'm wondering if there is a different way to study that I should use because of my dyslexia? I was tested and diagnosed with dyslexia as a young child. I took extra tutoring and have learned to manage it fairly well. Most of my higher academic education I took online classes and would try to avoid timed tests. I can always get the answer, but I have to be able to process what I'm reading. I can't do that very well up against the clock. I don't necessarily want extra time on the test, but I am wondering if there is a way that I should study that will help me that is maybe different from what is normally done? Or maybe should I ask for extra time or whatever consideration that can be give on the test? I typically never have before, I've never wanted to make a big deal about it, and I've just found a way to work around my obstacles. However, with the LSAT that's hard to do. I don't want an unfair advantage, but this standardized test was not made for a brain like mine. I don't want to be judged based on a low LSAT score when I actually am very capable. Any tips or suggestions would be great.
