  I have a question about the requirements of extra time. I have bad ADD and in high school, I took each section of the ACT on separate days. If I have documentation that I received this accommodation on the ACT, will the LSAT definitely grant me time and a half or double time or is it still in question? Thanks

  Hey! We aren't qualified to tell you if you'll definitely be granted extra time but your case sounds really good. The only way you'll know is to provide the necessary docs to LSAC and go from there. Make sure you allow enough time to get the docs signed and completed by your doc before the registration deadline.

  No way to know definitely because ultimately the LSAC decides on a case by case basis. It certainly isn't unheard of for someone who received receive in the past to accommodations them on the LSAT. Like @tanes256 said, make sure you submit the application for accommodations sooner rather than later. It is very common for people to not hear back from the LSAC only days before their administration to find out whether or not they have been granted the extra time.

  Might help, LSAT grants up to double time when necessary, also check the requirements at LSAC. if you're testing in September, you might want to start applying for the exception early to see if you have to change your study plan or possibly postpone.

  I don't think you'll know until you apply. I recall reading somewhere that 2x was uncommon. I think if you were granted extra time you'd be more likely to receive 1.5x.

  They won't let you take them on separate days, but you can have longer amounts of time and more breaks.
