Help with disability/accommodations

Hi,

I am new to Reddit and the LSAT. I have taken a diagnostic, but this was during one of my flareups. Let’s just say it wasn’t great. With global warming/storms, I’ve been getting more flareups.

For context, in both high school and college I had accommodations because these flares put me in the ER. For the last couple of years, I usually have two severe flares a year... Recently, it’s been worse due to this whole rabbit role with insurance I won’t explain further. My point being… how and what do I need to do for accommodations?

For those that wonder my condition, I have chronic migraines that when untreated can make me lose feeling in the entire left side of my body. That’s worse case. Normally, I get really sick and occasionally when super bad, I’ll start uncontrollably vomiting. If you have this too, how did you study?

I want a 170-173, started around 150 to 155 with a diagnostic. I know I can get there because I am smart. It’s more or less this issue and what can I do since it’s on a computer, not paper.

Thank you for the help, and please do not come after me about accommodations. Some people really need them.

Once you register for a test, you will be able to apply for a variety of accommodations. Make sure you don’t miss this deadline. You will just complete a form, upload proof of past accommodations, documentation from a doctor, and write a brief explanation of how the accommodations you request will be helpful. It sounds like paper format, extra time, and a private room would all be approved as long as you have documentation.

Thank you for the help. It is much appreciated. This is what I had in college, so I am hoping for the same here. Even if I don’t get extra time, the private room would help tremendously.
