[blindlaw] LSAT

[Cathryn Bonnette]

In response to Tom-

 

I don't believe the LSAT takers are permitted to use JAWS. The answer sheet
needs to be completed by a scribe to fill in the computerized form properly.
When I took the test, the person who read questions to me filled in the form
also. There was no other interaction during the test except for reading the
questions out loud.   Regulations were extremely rigid.  For example, I was
granted double time due to disability, but I forgot to request extra breaks
due to extended hours of examination, and thus breaks were denied by the
testing service! Unless they have drastically changed their approach, you
will get farther in demanding a qualified reader for the exam.  My reader
was a practicing attorney, competent to handle the material.

Perhaps others have had different experiences, but that was mine. Feel free
to contact me off list if you wish.
