[blindlaw] Large Print LSAT?

[Melanie Peskoe]

Thank You Noel for your response.  I will take your advice and ask for a
sample.  The other thing I'm struggling with is whether to ask for a scribe
or an unscannable answer sheet.  From what I've learned from LSAC (the
person with whom I spoke didn't seem to know the answer exactly) the
unscannable answer sheet is the same format and the scantron except that you
circle the letter rather than filling in a circle.  This would still create
the same problem of not being able to keep track of which line I am on, etc.
I find that I have a much more difficult time absorbing material if I hear
it rather than read it visually.  I'm not sure what I'll do yet.  Thanks
again for your response.

Hundreds of years ago, I took the LSAT using the allegedly large print that
the LSAC provided.  The large print was just a blow-up of the regular print
test, and therefore had horrible quality.  I recommend that you ask for a
sample of the large print that the LSAC uses before committing to taking the
test that way.  If I had to do it all over, I would use a reader as I did
not do as well on the LSAT as I could have.

Hello,
I am taking the LSAT in December and currently working with LSAC to
coordinate accommodations.  I am considering taking the large print version
of the test and I'd like to talk with others who have chosen this option.  I
would like to know what the test "looks like."  Is it on legal sized paper,
or standard paper? Did you get extra scratch paper to draw diagrams? What
does the nonscanable answer sheet look like?  Lastly, are you glad you took
the large print LSAT or do you wish you would have taken it in another
format?  Thanks in advance for your time and feedback.
Sincerely,
Melanie
