@calliekoskovich sure this is what I sent in the feedback submission form on their site... It's a little sassier than I really needed to be, but I was pretty amped up. So I probably wouldn't take it verbatim. I used the accessibility angle because, let's be honest, they don't care about making the test harder to take.

"Hello, I would like to provide some feedback on the UX of the new testing interface. As a UX/UI designer and consultant with years of experience, expertise in accessible design, as well as an LSAT test-taker, I have a lot of feedback regarding the usefulness or really short-comings of the new interface for actual test-takers. I highly recommend reading through my suggestions, as you may find they could protect you from potential legal action on behalf of people with disabilities.

1. General User Experience (UX): This current version requires MANY more clicks to accomplish a variety of tasks (which I will indicate below). As a test that is highly reliant on timing (and general UX best practices), more clicks take up and waste precious time that we don’t have.

2. Accessibility: You should allow test-takers to set up their accessibility settings on a preview screen before beginning test timing, as this should not take up valuable test time. Even a 15-second distraction can impact results and disproportionately impact those who need to change these settings. 

3. Question quantity and review panel: Previously in order to see the total number of questions in a section, which is essential to timing, you could just look down at the footer, then see, and get to all of the questions with a single click. Now, you have to open a panel that isn't even clear what it is because it's just an icon (terrible for accessibility and general UX when not widely recognized iconography), hover over multiple icons to figure out what they do, then click on the review icon(which you wouldn't know functions this way intuitively), and then see how many questions there are and click on the one you want to get to.

4. Masking answers: Similar complaint regarding unfamiliar iconography. As well as converting 1 click to 3+ clicks for the same result. You need to enter masking mode, then mask answers, then exit masking mode, then select an answer. And if you want to mask things again, repeat steps. Before, you just masked an option with one click. I can’t even imagine how much of a nightmare this is for people using a screen reader. Well, I can…and you should too. 

5. Where is the timer? That is all… 

6. I’m now seeing that you can uncollapse the menu to see the labels. If you’re using the menu (which is a worse UX than before, as noted), it should be open by default first, then closed by choice. 

7. I know you can change contrast with accessibility, but the default contrast is not accessible and is difficult to read for a non-visually impaired person. Grey on Grey does not pass a 3:1 contrast test. See WCAG 2.0+ standards for clear web accessibility guidelines."

@EthanPerlmutter I wrote them a whole email critiquing the new UI and provided recommendations and they said they would pass it onto the dev team, but we'll see if they listen.
