Hi all! This is incredible that they don't make the sites accessible in order to study for the LSAT. Hi Mr. Sexton, can you send me the link of the PowerScore site in order for me to check the study materials in order to get ready for the LSAT? I will really appreciate it a lot. Also, do any of you know if there are LSAT study materials and practices in Braille format? I'm just wondering. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!
