(Resending; any information is most appreciated.)
Hello all,

I hope you remain warm and well.

I am beginning to preplan to take the bar exam in Winter 2021.

Are there already existing good threads on applying for accommodations;
recommendations on the process;
and, importantly, which states (Preferably UBE) more easily grant
accommodations and which, unfortunately, have difficult processes or
practices?
(I know that one's bar jurisdiction should be determined by other
factors; this would be a datapoint.)

On standardized tests, I previously received:
doubletime (100%);
a computer with JAWS for an electronic test;
and use of a braillenote to write and read in braille.
In that framework, is there something else I should also request (that
others have requested/find helpful)?

I thank you for your assistance and eagerly await your response.

Appreciatively yours, most sincerely,
Seif
