How to Request Removal of the Experimental Section with Accommodations?

angie20166

Hello everyone,

I recently learned that if you qualify for accommodations, it might be possible to request the removal of the experimental section from an exam.

Does anyone know how to make this request? Who should you contact, and do you need to specify the removal of the experimental section directly?

Thanks a lot!

I have a chronic fatigue related illness, and am asking my dr to write a letter endorsing this specific experimental-removing accommodation. I think, based on what I've seen on reddit, you just submit it to LSAC using the accommodations mechanism?

hello, I believe so. It can be included as supporting documentation.

I had no idea this was a thing. Let me know if any of you are granted this. I will try as well

I received this accommodation. There is a fill-in-the-blank section on the part of the accommodation request asking which accommodations you want. You just type in "Remove experimental section." This was all it took in terms of justification/writing. FYI, this is not on the documentation you fill out--just in the web-based accommodation screen you fill out before submitting your qualified professional form and any other substantiating documents.

Hey folks, I just got this accommodation approved. Let me know if you have any questions I could possibly answer! Thanks!

I got this approved. It's good to communicate to your professional a little bit of about the nature of the experimental section, so they can precisely explain in their letter why you need it to be removed. As someone else said, it's not a standard option, but something you write next to the "other" button. But I don't believe it's a particularly heavily guarded acom despite being on the secret menu ("animal-style"-style).

Alternatively, you don't actually need to request this. Just sense in your gut when you're at the experimental section, and just spam random answers to quickly get to the next sec 😉
