[blindlaw] LSAT Time limit

[Michael Fry]

My advice, Bill, is to ask for at least double time to take the test, my
experience was that I needed every minute of it.  In addition, take the
Kaplan Review course for the LSAT.  It improved my score by at least 10
points.  Plus Kaplan will accomodate your disability and give you experience
using the accomdations while taking the practice tests.  You only want to
take the LSAT once because it's a pain in the ass and if you take the test
multiple times LSAC will average the scores together.
