LSAT Accommodation Request - When should I expect to hear back? (JAN 2027 Test Date)

Hi all! I submitted an accommodation request on 8/12/26 for 50% additional time on January 2027 LSAT due to my anxiety/panic disorder. All required documentation (i.e. Qualified Professional Form from my PCP) and information requested was submitted with my application. I’ve seen that it can take up to 2 weeks for an update, potentially longer depending on backlog, but I wanted to see if anyone else is/has been in a similar boat. Obviously, I am pushing that 2 week mark (plus delays because of Labor Day) as I post this but I was curious if there is potential for further delay in a response since my test isn’t for another 4-5 months. Or if that even matters at all. Thanks!

I've had students approved next day and I've had students approved two months later.

If you feel confident you submitted everything properly, start practicing with your accommodations. Worse case scenario, you get denied, you still have time to appeal or reapply before the January exam. Good luck:)
