[blindLaw] Sitting for the LSAT

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Mr. John.  Hope you are well. Welcome  to the Blind Law  group! That is great you are planning to take the  LSAT. I think you mentioned that you are planning to take the exam on November, just make sure you register for the exam prior asking for the accommodation for it. Also, I assume you know about the LSAT writing.  Prior  taking the LSAT, since you are a first time LSAT test taker, you need to write a writing sample that is not graded, but it will be send to the law schools that you are planning to apply. I will be taking the LSAT for the first time this October. In regards of studying material, I purchase the 2023 PowerScore Bibles trilogy, which comes with the three Bibles and the three workbooks from the PowerScore site. It is study package that costs 250 dollars the entire set. PowerScore provide me the PDF versions of the books in accessible format, since I am totally blind. I did have  to provide them the  accommodation letter  I received from LSAC for my LSAT, before they sent me  me the PDF versions. If you wish, you can contact PowerScore for any questions you have regarding  these  materials. In addition, if I am not mistaken, I think there is  some PowerScore Bibles in bookshare as well. For your information, there is the LSAC waver fee, which will pay for your Credential Assembly Services and your first Lsat exam and more.  If you have any questions feel free to ask me.  Thanks   So much for  reading!
