You don't have to email them back to accept the accommodations. You will most likely be in a separate room unless there are test takers with similar accommodations. You will have the same exact test as everyone else even if it is on a different day than the other test takers ( I had to take my LSAT a week later than everyone and still had the same exam). When taking practice exams I took them under the same conditions that the LSAC gave me because that is the best way to adjust to the exam because of your disabilities.

@jhaldy10325 That is not true about using his prior performance on the exam in their consideration. If his doctor recommends him to receive accommodations and there is good reasoning behind it they will most likely grant it. The LSAC has their own "medical specialists" that determine if you are qualified for accommodations. His past performance can't have any impact on this decision, it is strictly based on his medical conditions and if it is otherwise it would be in violation of the ADA. I talked to the Department of Justice about this because of what the LSAC has done with breaking precedent and mandating experimental sections for accommodated test takers. I hope I helped =)

@7sagestudentservices Hey I have received accommodations from the LSAT and its a fairly simple process. All you have to do is fill out the three documents required by the LSAC and explain why you need the accommodations. Just like you I didnt receive accommodations in undergraduate until I registered for the LSAT. I explained to them the situation I was in and gave all my medical test exams as well as the note provided by a specialist illustrating that I needed these accommodations and I was approved about two weeks later.

@52860 They are in Pennsylvania, I dont think they were impacted by it but maybe they didn't receive the tests from people in other states. Its a possibility =(

@52860 they have a habit of breaking tradition for this LSAT espiecially with the accommodated test takers.

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 Hey I am in the same position as you. I have a low GPA as well but it was due to a medical condition that ruined my everyday life ( I have epilepsy). My grades were horrible my freshmen and sophomore year but as I got accommodated at my University and I started to learn to deal with my illness my grades improved and I was told to write an addendum explaining the situation I was in. It is better to write an addendum explaining your situation and your low GPA compared to letting the admissions committee make assumptions about why your GPA is low.

@stcaitmokyu935 When I say 5 sections that is 4 regular and one experimental. I did not include the writing section. I had to take the exam like everyone else but under different time constraints.

@stcaitmokyu935 i took the 5 section exam. When you email them your info for the accommodations you have to recheck the boxes you were already approved for and whatever other accommodations you want on top of it. ALso send the confirmation or approval letter that you received for your already approved accommodations.
Can you elaborate more about what the letter says? @7sagestudentservices
