[blindlaw] LSAT

[Joe Orozco]

Hello Cathryn and all,

Is double time the norm?  I thought time and a half was already pushing it
in light of the trouble I had with some of the other accommodations.

In response to Tom-

 

I don't believe the LSAT takers are permitted to use JAWS. The 
answer sheet
needs to be completed by a scribe to fill in the computerized 
form properly.
When I took the test, the person who read questions to me 
filled in the form
also. There was no other interaction during the test except for 
reading the
questions out loud.   Regulations were extremely rigid.  For 
example, I was
granted double time due to disability, but I forgot to request 
extra breaks
due to extended hours of examination, and thus breaks were denied by the
testing service! Unless they have drastically changed their 
approach, you
will get farther in demanding a qualified reader for the exam.  
My reader
was a practicing attorney, competent to handle the material.

Perhaps others have had different experiences, but that was 
mine. Feel free
to contact me off list if you wish.

 

 

Cathryn
