Question about accommodations

Hi everyone,

I recently found out that LSAC allows test takers with disabilities to take the LSAT with some accommodations. I have a few questions about qualifying and if it is worth it to apply.

Background:

I was diagnosed at a young age (6-8 years old) with ADHD and dyslexia. I went to a grade school that specialized in teaching children with learning disabilities. I had an IEP in high school, and received extra time as needed on tests throughout college.

Questions:

Are learning disabilities such as ADHD and dyslexia the types of disabilities that could warrant accommodations on the LSAT?

If I do qualify for accommodations, is it worth it to apply for them? Are there any negatives to requesting and receiving accommodations on the LSAT?

I have been studying for the LSAT under conventionally timed conditions, should I continue this practice if I find out I am allowed extra time on the test?

Thanks in advance for any advice

John
