This is not legal advice and following our advice in no way guarantees successful receipt of accommodations.\n\u000fOVERVIEW\nThe LSAT\nThe Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a standardized test that all American Bar Association-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and numerous others require for admission. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools use to assess applicants.\nThe LSAC\nThe Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is a nonprofit corporation that handles all aspects of the LSAT and virtually all components of the law school application.  LSAC also houses the panel that determines who receives what accommodations on the exam.\nTake a look at these links to get a better idea of both what the LSAT is and tests, and the role played by the LSAC:\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/about-the-lsat\" \u0014http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/about-the-lsat\u0015\n\u0013HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/AboutLSAC/about-lsac.asp\"\u0014http://www.lsac.org/AboutLSAC/about-lsac.asp\u0015\nYour Disability and the LSAT\nDoes your disability qualify you for accommodations?  This is the million-dollar question.\nIf you are thinking that you’re a shoe-in for LSAT accommodations since you had accommodations in undergrad, think again.  In fact, it is well known that receiving accommodations on the LSAT is very difficult. Why?  Well no one but the evaluating panel knows the truth.\nBut don’t give up on your law school dreams just yet!  NALSWD created this guide to help you make the best case for getting the accommodations you deserve.\nTHE PROCESS\nAfter years of vague guidelines and hard to find documents, LSAC has finally created a relatively straightforward outline of how to apply for accommodations.\nWhat we have done is clarified a few potentially confusing items and added some useful insider information.\nFirst and foremost, you must \u0013HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/test-dates-deadlines\"\u0014Register To Take The Test\u0015.  It isn’t cheap, but before you can go any further in the process, you must register to take the LSAT.\nIf you have not yet registered, you might want to do that now and come back to this guide. The accommodations process can take a long time, sometimes up to year, and that process can't start until you've registered for the exam. Registering as soon as you know you want to take the LSAT is strongly in your best interests. \u0013HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org\"\u0014www.lsac.org\u0015. After you have your account, have paid for the test, and have selected your preferred date, you can start the accommodations process.\nStart with the FAQ pdf file provided by the LSAC: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/frequently-asked-questions.pdf\" \u0014http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/frequently-asked-questions.pdf\u0015.  Read it slowly and carefully, and if need be, take notes on what you feel is important. This file includes contact numbers and email addresses that can be very useful.  Some accommodations seekers have even programmed these items into their cell phones for easy access in the days to come.\nNext comes the Accommodations Request Packet: The documents in this packet include \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/accommodations-form-gen-info.pdf\" \u0014General Information\u0015 about the accommodations process, a \u0013HYPERLINK \"http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/checklist-for-documenting-accommodations-requests.pdf\"\u0014Checklist","cbCaik04mWM754Kc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik04mWM754Kc","doc",61952,"English","# Overview\n## The LSAT\n## The LSAC\n## Your Disability and the LSAT\n# The Process\n## Register To Take The Test\n## FAQ\n## Accommodations Request\n### Packet\n### Candidate Form\n### Evaluator Form\n## Questions To Ask Yourself\n### To Apply With Accommodations\n### Hire Legal Counsel If Denied\n# Miscellaneous Tips\n## Apply Early\n## Check List\n## Follow Up\n## Be Polite\n## Keep Files / Make A Record\n## Remember It Is Only A Test","[{\"question\":\"What role do the LSAT and LSAC play in the accommodations process?\",\"answer\":\"The LSAT is the standardized admissions test, while the LSAC handles test operations and the panel that determines accommodations.
