If not, would anyone like to start one here? :)
Especially considering the recent pattern with the logic games section, it would be nice to practice unique games to keep us on our toes

Hi guys,
I'm writing the LSAT on the 6th instead of tomorrow because of my accommodations. I was wondering if we get the same test or a different one?
Thanks!
@steve898 Care to share what your learning disability is? Also, I'm curious in these cases how the disabilities will affect law school experience.
I'm not really sure I how would classify it because my psych evaluated me using standardized tests. But from what I can gather, I have low scores in the perceptual reasoning, and working memory area. But very high scores in the verbal comprehension, abstract verbal reasoning area and processing speed.
I don't consider my disability, a 'disability'. It's something I've managed my whole life using various strategies and techniques and I've done well in school and work regardless. The same will apply to my law school experience.
@476.rizeq Now go beat the living shit out of the LSAT!
I'm going to kill the test!
@gregoryalexanderdevine723 So happy to hear this! Congrats on getting what you need and deserve, and for not giving up!
Thank you so much!!!
Hi,
A few weeks ago, I applied for accommodations, namely 1.5X the regular time and a quiet room. I just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else wants to apply as well.
I applied during the late registration deadline, so I only had a few days to gather my documents. I have a learning disability with ADHD as well. I was diagnosed during my 2nd year of university, and I had never applied for any accommodations at school or for standardized tests. I was afraid that they were going to reject my request because I had no past history, but they approved it!
All I included in my accommodations package were the three forms required by LSAC, a doctor's note confirming my disability and that I wasn't taking any medication, and a psychological evaluation of my learning disabilities with the test results/analysis. I applied on October 25th, and got a response today on November 9th.
I'm really glad that LSAC streamlined the process and made receiving accommodations more accessible. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me.
Also, thank you to everyone at 7Sage for helping me out as well!
@matthewaqeel196 thank you for your response. i'm just a bit worried they'll reject my accommodations request because my learning disability isn't as specific as ADHD/ADD, rather it's a wide array of issues. regardless, i do have documentation such as my test reports for the learning disorder, as well as my psychologist's note regarding my condition.
Hi, I was wondering if I could get a little help with this topic. I registered late for the LSAT (because of the september LSAT results), and I'm going to be submitting my request for accommodations, specifically extra time, and a quiet room by tomorrow. I have a diagnosed learning disability.
But the thing is, I'm canadian, so we don't have standardized tests prior to post-secondary education. Furthermore, I didn't have accommodations during my undergrad because it's largely writing/essay based rather than test based.
I didn't write my last LSAT with accommodations because I wasn't aware that they granted them.
If anyone has taken the LSAT with accommodations, could you please shed some light on the issue? I already know that I have to fill in the 3 forms that LSAC provides. I'm also going to be providing a detailed psych evaluation (30+ pages describing my LD). What other documents should I include to strengthen my case?
Thank you so much
Why do I deserve accommodations? Because I have a learning disability. That's all that should be said. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't appreciate being scrutinized for seeking what I need. That's exactly the kind of discriminatory mentality that prevented thousands of students from getting their accommodations accepted by LSAC in the first place.
I didn't spend thousands of dollars over the course of a year going through intensive testing just so that I could apply for accommodations for the LSAT. It was a point of concern for me and I wanted to learn more about myself to help ME cope and be the best person I can.
