You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.
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 posted a PSA that you can request to remove the experimental section of the LSAT as part of your accommodations and got a ton of questions. So here is some basic info that might help:
-Extra time is only one of many accommodations you can request
-For example, you can request to provide your own pencils, own paper, you can get stop/start breaks, use of reading highlighter tool...You can request Beyonce sit in on your test... literally anything. Your letter of support from your provider will just need to elucidate your specific need.
-This process is clearly outlined on LSAC's website. If you're not clear on the process you can call LSAC and have them explain it to you. It's basically a list of requests, backed up by your provider, which usually implies a diagnosis. You input all your paperwork and wait for LSAC to grant or deny your requests. Requests are generally granted if you provide support from your provider.
-LSAC can take forever to get back regarding decision. I got my approval the day before my test, which was stressful and annoying, but LSAC sucks in general so that's to be expected.
-Law schools don't know who has accommodations. Legally LSAC cannot disclose any information regarding accommodations.
Hope that's helpful!
Please consider adding 'accommodations' as a discussion category on 7sage @"David Busis"

Thanks for the information! Would I have to complete a new accommodations request for this? Or is it an additional accommodations request?
Additional. You would keep any accommodations you've been previously granted as well as get the experimental removed. The only reason it would be considered "new" would be if you want to throw out all your previous accommodations.

Is this something that law schools will be able to see? If you're able to remove it via accommodations, would there be any downsides to that from the application perspective (could it be seen undermining the strength of your application or your capabilities, etc)?
LSAC legally can't disclose any info on accommodations. My LSAT looks the same to schools as someone without accommodations.
@skbonnem316 said:
Wow thank you for this information! How can you request? Do you specify that you would like it removed? Who should you contact?
Thank you a million!!!
There is a formal process of requesting accommodations. You can find info on LSAC's website-- basically you give LSAC a list of stuff you need based on recommendations by your provider... based on a specific need/diagnosis. Your provider letter should outline support for your requests. You can request anything as an accommodation. There isn't a set list of options to choose from. Hope that helps
@buonicontialyssa2194 said:
Is that on the form you have to fill out?
It's not on the form in the sense that it's box you check. You manually go in and add accommodations you're requesting based on the recommendation of your provider.
If you qualify for accommodations you can request to have the experimental section removed. I had some great, beneficial accommodations, but wasn't aware this is even a thing. Wish someone would've told me, so grabbing some karma points hopefully and passing this along. Also, @7sage, you should add 'accommodations' as a discussion topic.
Can we finally talk about that damn honey bee question?
Whenever I listen to podcasts/hear from high scorers I've noticed one commonality is they mention how important prioritizing mental health is during the process. So whether it's exercising, meditation, and/or eating well, make sure you're taking care of yourself. You've got to get out of your head so you can get intuitive about what you need to progress to your goal score. I also think the first time taking the lsat is very intimidating no matter what. For me it was helpful to rip off the bandaid and just have the experience of taking it under my belt. I did a lot better than I thought and even though it wasn't my goal score it was super helpful to get used to how things work during the exam. Idk, might not be consensus advice but that's my take.
@davidbusis895 said there's no eta for when it will be fixed 🫤. Please send an update via email so I know when to get back on!
Can't highlight in drills
Took a drill today and noticed the drilling setup has seemingly changed. Has the feature been removed that allows one to click the x to the right of an AC to eliminate?
I've come across many posts by @akistotle they refer to as their "Cookie Cutter Reviews". These posts are super helpful and I'd like to read more of them. However, I can't figure out a way to effectively locate more of these specific posts. I initially found them in a comment under a video explanation, so searching the discussion forum obviously wouldn't locate. Would appreciate #help with this!
Link to example of cookie cutter review comment: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-55-section-3-question-22/
It felt very valuable, but I second guessed myself because of the time it took. Thanks for your comment and validation. Needed that! @jiwoonyoonsg668
That's actually really good point/question @danielfoster437470 ! I'm definitely going back today to answer these q's for myself. thanks for your input
I've read if you want to master logic games, best practice is to model your logical process after JY's by watching the videos to build the same mental processes he employs.
So normally when I get stumped on a game I head to the video explanation. But on a particular game (PT33, game 3) I was able to do it without video, but it took me 30+ minutes. Is there value in struggling through a game like that? Or is it better to cut right to the video? I'm to the point where I rarely have to rely on the videos, so I was feeling stubborn and knew I could do it. Wdyt?
Edited to add, I got them all correct! Just took awhile.
I drill each LR question type starting from "easiest". I don't move onto the next level difficulty until I get a perfect score on the drill. Once I get perfect scores on all drills of a given question type from "easiest" to "hardest" it would be really helpful if I could go back and retake all the ones I got wrong to make sure the concepts have been correctly solidified and I've made accurate progress. Would be great to add a feature to the drill filter where you can select "taken" and "got wrong". Thanks for considering! #feedback #request
Since the correct AC is E it seems like it's an implied part of the conclusion that we're not only trying to mitigate health risks, but also competitive advantage.
Argument: Legalization and regulation--> mitigation of health risks and competitive advantage.
in other words: Legalization and regulation--> safe levels without competitive advantage
JY's explanation was kinda long for me. Would love anyone to chime in on this. This was a difficult one!
It seems like there are too many variables to say for sure if the 11 points can be attributed to your used of accommodations or not. It definitely takes getting used to taking at the testing center. Have you taken PT's with and without accommodations to try to determine if they're helpful or not? I'm assuming you're referring to time accommodations?
Can confirm it is now required to take PP test at a testing center. Recommend calling ahead and finding out what they provide for pencils. Sounds silly but my testing center's pencils were old, non mechanical and they got dull and would break with all the bubbling--it was very distracting. I ended up talking the testing center into upgrading for the next time I tested but if you can figure it out ahead of time I highly recommend.
@janvier158217 That was so obvious. I have no idea why I got so stuck on it. I think i've just programmed by brain to see patterns and for whatever reason this one wasn't downloaded yet. Thanks for taking the time, 'preciate it so much!!!
Visualizations are key for me. You know the youtube videos that explain a concept using illustrations and sound effects? I visualize images, video, and sounds. I think sounds are especially important because it incorporates another layer of senses--which data shows is helpful for comprehension. Or I think of a vintage newscaster reading the passage with big, thick glasses and I visualize what the accompanying b-roll would look like. I also imagine my favorite Youtuber reading the passage and imagine a video about the content in their style.

I posted a q on the thread for PT32 S3 G2 here https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-32-section-3-game-2/
It asks
"Any one of the following could be true about the organizer's selection of works EXCEPT"
It's an in and out game. The answer choices give a partial list of what's in and are asking if the combination could be true. I'm confused because [I thought] when they ask what could be in, we're looking at a comprehensive list, rather than partial list--so it really threw me. I scavenged the comment section and no one else seemed to get tripped up so clearly this is me 😅
-Can someone explain how you knew the AC's were partial?
-Would you say this is a unique q or naw common get a grip
Reply here or directly on the question thread! tysm!
One of the greatest storytellers on youtube. Watch this and get out there and study for the LSAT!
