The background here is that I have a significant math-based disability that boils down to not being very good at reading graphs. My RC and LR sections are fine- mostly -4- but even with extra time I am struggling to get a single Game right. Is anything I can do besides bang my head against the wall?? Does anyone have a non-visual method of doing this? Or do I just need to focus on the other two sections perfect and consider this a wash. I need a 160 and I am currently around 156 if I manage to get a single game.

Sure. I can copy the graphs and charts from the guide but once I look at them, I can't like "translate" them back to the questions. I am terrible with both numbers and directions (ability to tell left from right very quickly). Mainly, I think that I can't make very good inferences from the graphs so I get tripped up trying to eliminate things. It's sort of hard to explain- I copy the rules, set up the board and then, oh look letters and numbers.

Yeah I saw a lower-ranked school send an email that they'll start taking GRE & GMAT due to covid.
I guess this is better than nothing but it's not a good solution for those of us who put so much time into studying for the LSAT and would prefer to use an LSAT score over a GRE & GMAT score. Plus the tests are so different that we'd be scrambling and switching gears to learn things like Geometry if the LSAT doesn't open more dates or implement remote testing.
I wonder why GMAT and GRE cannot help LSAT implement/buy/borrow remote testing software? Remote testing isn't unheard of these days, AWS and lots of IT certifications use remote testing software to proctor at-home tests. I don't work for LSAC obviously so I don't know what is holding them back from adapting. I also feel like remote testing would be a good option to have regardless of covid. Many people don't live near a testing center and don't have the financial means readily available to drive/take bus/stay in hotel/etc. So remote testing would reduce one barrier to entry for financially underprivileged people. It's not a perfect solution because not everyone would have a quiet environment and/or tablet/computer at home, but it's a great alternative.
Also the GRE has a math section. I have dyscalculia and the Logic Games are bad enough. There's no way I would be able to make a decent score.
