GRE and LSAT Accomodations

[mattm]

Hello,

I was wondering as I had posted earlier< I am seeking extended time on the LSAT due to vision problems in one eye.

I got a 154 on June 2014 LSAT under normal conditions because during my LSAT prep time I had not visited my eye doctors and could not get their take on it. ( saw them in Jan 2014 prior to starting my prep and in Jun 2014 after the exam)

I am planning on a GRE take under extended time in order to seek LSAT accommodations under the New Policy for Prior Accommodations ....and was wondering in terms of prep how would LSAC Staff would consider my GRE score in their decision? Even though I have taken the SAT and ACT already, those were before my Jan 2012 accident

i have not seriously begun GRE prep as this link http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source ... ations.pdf shows is all I need to do is to show LSAC proof I took the GRE under extended time

Based off that, I was wondering if there was any GRE benchmark I would need to make to receive accommodations...or on the flip side If I could score "too highly" on it to receive LSAT extra time?....i was curious to see how I should go about GRE prep if as of right now the primary reason is for LSAT accommodations and soon I will be busy again in the Spring with school and LSAT prep..

i believe based off the link, taking the GRE is the main thing I need to do and not worry so much about the score....but just wanted confirmation I'm on the right track

Thanks

Hey Matt,

I don't believe they use your GRE results in any fashion when considering the accommodations (in fact, I believe that would lend itself to some legal issues); it's just whether you received accommodations, not your actual score.

So, you should be good. Thanks!

Thanks!

And if I am planning on a Sept/December LSAT....how long could I have access to the course materials for if I signed up for a course ?....I am currently self studying and found this forum by reading the Bibles....I have LR and LG Bibles

I am planning on a September 2015 take with the intent and confidence to only have to take it then..but scheduling it in Sept so Dec can be used if necessary if I had an off day on that September exam....as opposed to taking it just once in December 2015 in which Feb would be my only retake chance for my cycle and i don't really like that option given the scores coming not until in late Feb

Hi Matt,

You ask:

how long could I have access to the course materials for if I signed up for a course ?

You would have access to the materials for two administrations of the test. So, if you sign up for a course that takes place between the February and June administrations, you would have access to the materials until the October 2015. If you sign up for a class that takes place between the June and October test dates, you'll have access until the December test.

Thanks,

Ron
