Getting extra time on the LSAT is about to get easier than ever.
Last week, LSAC agreed to pay nearly $8 million to settle a lawsuit with the Justice Department over its notoriously strict LSAT accommodations policy.
2 big changes that will affect you:
1. LSAC will automatically grant most test accommodations if you've gotten them for another standardized test like the SAT or ACT.
2. LSAC will no longer flag the LSAT scores of test-takers who received extra time. In other words, law schools won't know whether you only got 35 minutes to complete a section or got twice as much time.
What do you think?
Was LSAC's existing policy on granting test accommodations like extra time been fair?
Should law schools know whether someone received accommodations when considering their application?
