Hi, Study Buddies!
I hope all is going great for everyone and studying hasn’t been too grueling on you.
I wanted to reach out to all of you on here again for two reasons:
Firstly, our study group has the amazing opportunity to meet with 7Sage’s @"Scott Milam"tomorrow (Saturday, April 9, 2022) for an hour seminar from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM PST. If you haven’t already checked out our GroupMe (chatroom just for our study group), the information for the event and the zoom invite link is posted in there. If you don’t have access to the GroupMe; we have another study session tonight from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM PST via zoom, we’d love to have you drop in and study with us and you can get the GroupMe link from me then, or send me a message and I’d be happy to get you connected to our GroupMe and the awesome people that make up our study group.
Secondly, studying for this test is a long and often difficult process; it’s very easy to feel discouraged, frustrated, and unmotivated— I struggle with these things myself. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and I wanted to encourage you to keep going, to keep trying. As the great Dory from Finding Nemo once said, “When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming.”
Recap:
Study Group Zoom Meeting with Scott tomorrow, Saturday, April 9, 2022 from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM PST— look in the GroupMe for the zoom link or reach out if you don’t have the GroupMe.
You got this!

Hi @tmdixon2 ,
It's totally ok to feel overwhelmed and scared about accommodations. I've been there too!
I'll preface this long response by saying that I am not an expert on this or a qualified professional and what I say here is not one size fits all nor is it the end all be all on this subject. I'm just a peer trying to help :smiley:
Like @sandraloosle774 said, a primary care doctor, or other medical professional who is familiar with your diagnosis can fill out the qualified professional form. I think the important things about the medical professional are 1) they possess professional credentials appropriate to be familiar with your diagnosis- this could be a variety of and not exclusively limited to: MD, DO, DNP, NP, PA, PA-C, PsychD, and/ or certain types of therapists as well, etc.; and 2) you've met with this medical provider/qualified professional to discuss your disability and your concerns in a candid way, somewhat recently. The medical provider/ qualified professional will let you know if they feel comfortable filling out this form and if they feel they are qualified to speak on your disability.
You'll also have a place in your accommodation request (candidate form) to provide a personal statement of need that you fill out where you can let them know about your disability, how it affects your ability to take the test, why you need accommodations and how you have previously been accommodated etc.
Personally, I turned in qualified professional forms from both my provider who handles my medications and the psychD who diagnosed me in addition to my evaluation results and my own statement of need. My request was approved in about a week--LSAC can take up to two weeks to get back to you. Basically, I gave them probably way more than they wanted to see and let the LSAC make the decision as to if it was enough.
If your request for accommodations is denied you are allowed an appeal process; two business days to let them know of your intent to appeal, then four calendar days to submit an appeal. HOWEVER, if you do find yourself in the position of needing to appeal you have to submit your appeal no later than 12 calendar days before your scheduled test date, otherwise you will have to move your test date. Some advice I was given before submitting my request for accommodations was to do it as early as possible--at least a month before the deadline to submit the request, if at all possible--just so you don't have the stress of whether you'll get approved looming over you in the days preceding the test. More about the appeal process here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsac-policy-accommodations-test-takers-disabilities/appeal-procedure-accommodation-requests
I hope this helps! Good luck!

P.S. If you want, I can PM you with some articles that I found helpful in my own process too.
