[blindlaw] LSAT Question

[Angie Matney]

I'd just like to add that braille is also an available accommodation
for the LSAT. That is how I took the test. At the time, I did not feel
like pressing the laptop issue, and I didn't want to take my chances
with an unknown reader. I believe LSAC is one of the few testing
organizations that will not let you choose your own reader, but I
could be wrong about that.
