@ Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it! I am going to see my GP next week to see if she's okay with filling out the form :)

Getting Accommodations

Hi all,

So when I was little (like 8), I was diagnosed with a learning disability similar to dyslexia. Because of my learning disability, I have always (including in high school and university) had learning accommodations, including extra time on tests.

Because I have never taken the SAT (I'm Canadian) or any other standardised tests accepted by LSAC, I have to provide proof of my learning disability and previous use of accommodations to them. I have documentation from both my university and my high school, which verifies my disability and the use of accommodations on all previous tests (including my diplomas).

I am struggling with getting a qualified professional to fill out the qualified professional form. When I called them and asked who counts as a qualified professional, they said it had to be a doctor who had previously assessed me. Unfortunately, the last person who assessed me seems to be inaccessible. I've done everything I can think of to contact her! I've looked on Linkedin, called my high school because she worked with them, and even called the psychologist association to see if they could contact her on my behalf. Still nothing. I've also tried seeing if another psychologist could reevaluate me, and it seems like I don't have the time or resources to get reevaluated in time.

So what I am wondering is if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows anyone who has and can give me some advice! Do you think they will grant my request even without a qualified professional? Am I misunderstanding who counts as a qualified professional or missing something? Any advice or insight would be great!

If you read this far, thank you! I'm terrified of having to take this test without accommodations because it will be the first I take a test without them in my life :(

If it helps I am feeling the same way! I think its okay tho basically everything I have seen has said to take it easy the 2 days (even the week) before and to not even study the day before the test.

Hey, so I just wrote my written section, and I hadn't even thought about this as something that could happen, but my Grammarly was on and making suggestions. I ignored it as best as I could, but I was FREAKING OUT. Will my writing sample get rejected???

Following this!

I have 50% time, but because of my learning disability, I usually can't finish in 35 mins and use the time just trying to get things done, but I generally have a couple of minutes extra per section. My only real tip for how to best use the time is not to use your extra time to overthink the answers. I find when I do that, my score takes a big hit!

@

I'm applying to UofA, UVic, Dal, UOttawa, York and USask! I would be happy to get in anywhere, but York and UVic are my top choices :)

I write on the 15th, so I'm very nervous but excited to be done studying (unless I need to re-write in November).

Where are you applying?

Improving on reading comp law passages

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or extra resources for law reading comp. I am struggling a lot with Law RC, and drilling them isn't helping a ton. Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated :)

You need to submit proof. There is a list of the documents they need. You need a qualified professional to fill out a form and in some cases documentation of your disability/need for accommodations.

Are you sure?
