I did have to appeal for it, submitting a detailed justification letter explaining the need.

I also find Excel really helpful for diagramming the games, but so far have not been able to get LSAC to grant it as an accommodation. Can anyone share their experiences requesting the use of Excel? Was it necessary to appeal for it?

If you happen to take it again for whatever reason, I recommend the use of Excel for diagramming the logic games. I just devised a system of symbols denoting the status of each variable. Using excel was helpful because I could copy the basic setup for all the questions relating to that game.

Although my scores on the logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections are where I want them, my scores on logic games fall a little short. I struggle with trying to organize the various correct sequences of the variables in a list in a word document. What have others done to keep track of multiple sequences for restricted and modification questions?
