[blindLaw] ExamSoft Accessibility

[Maura Kutnyak]

Upon review of this thread, I am feeling a bit concerned about the specifics in terms of requests for accommodations. I am getting ready to submit the paperwork in order to meet the deadline for the September 21 LSAT.

Does anyone know if the LSAC allows for amendments once paperwork has been submitted? I don’t think I have enough time to obtain help reviewing all the documents before the August 1 deadline. Just wondering how flexible they are about patching things up once the request is submitted.

Sincerely,

Maura Kutnyak

I don't know if this is helpful at all, but my law school gave me an accommodation to take my exams on a special computer they provided in a disability lab, they install jaws on it. instead of exam soft. Exam soft it's not very accessible at least it wasn't when I was there. Didn't want to deal with the additional stress. Hope that helps and you can get a workaround or accommodation if you need it!
