[nabs-l] dealing with the LSAC/preparing for the LSAT

[Joe via nabs-l]

Hi Patrick,

If you're planning on taking the exam in September, I'd accelerate the
accommodations process. Start that as soon as possible, because I found the
LSAC staff abnormally difficult. Granted, this was 2009, but they seem
especially hell-bent on operating two decades behind where efficiency is
concerned.

I myself took the exam in Braille. I got a Perkins brailler for the logic
puzzles. I know someone here argued to be allowed to use a computer for more
than just the writing exercise.

As for prep material, I never enrolled in any of the Kaplan courses. They
were too expensive for my poor soul. :) I found Braille copies of old exams
from a transcriber in New York. I found plenty of practice exams online. The
first few times I just took the tests freestyle. Then I began timing myself
for more realistic practice. I also bought copies of the Bible series, that
is: Logic Games Bible, Logic Reasoning Bible, and the Reading Comprehension
Bible. You may get better responses on the BlindLaw list.

Hi All,
I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions on dealing with the LSAC?
I'm looking to take the LSAT this September, and I'm hoping to take the test
using my computer and JAWS, since that's how I've tested in the past. What's
the best way to go about communicating this to the LSAC? On a similar note,
does anyone know of any good practice materials for the LSAT? I know
Bookshare has some things, but I wasn't sure if there were materials in
other places that I should look at.
Basically any advice I can get here would be appreciated.
Patrick
