What you can ask for
- Extra testing time. Up to 50% more is Category 2, or up to 100% for severe visual impairments. More than that is Category 3, which needs stronger evidence.
- Extra breaks between sections. Testing and breaks can’t go past eight hours in a day, so very long tests can be split over two days.
- Stop and start breaks: up to 60 minutes per eight-hour appointment, when the clock stops and you can stand, stretch, eat or use the restroom.
- Assistive technology at Prometric centers: JAWS, ZoomText and Dragon.
- Braille, large print (18-point by default), a human reader or a scribe.
- You don’t need to ask for non-tinted glasses, hearing aids or medication. Bluetooth medical devices do need approval.
How to apply
- Register for your test first.
- In JD Services, open Request or Modify Accommodations and fill in the Candidate Form.
- Add your evidence. For accommodations without extra time, that’s school records such as an IEP or 504 plan, or documents from a qualified professional.
- For extra time, add records showing you’ve had the same accommodation before, or a qualified professional’s documents with a clear reason you need it for the LSAT.
- If you had accommodations on another admission test, the test sponsor can verify them for you.
- Submit by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline. If the online form gives you trouble, email accom@LSAC.org.
ADHD and other conditions
LSAC’s documentation rules don’t single out ADHD or any other condition. They accept medical, neurological, psychological or other assessments from a qualified professional, and they ask for more evidence the more time you request. LSAC warns that asking for more time than your documents support can lead to a partial or full denial.
After you apply
- The decision goes into your JD Services account. If it isn’t a full approval, there’s a letter explaining why.
- To appeal, say so within two business days and send documents within five calendar days. Appeal results usually come within a week.
- If you were approved for the LSAT before, you’re automatically approved for the same thing next time. Approvals for temporary conditions don’t carry over, and asking for more time means a new request.
- Some accommodations, such as needing a separate room a center can’t offer, can qualify you for remote testing.
