Nearly all American Bar Association (ABA) approved law schools require the LSAT<\/a> as part of the admission process. One of the most challenging aspects of the LSAT are the time limits of 35 minutes on each of the five sections, which include Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, two Logical Reasoning sections and an unscored section (which is used to pretest new test questions). There is also a 35-minute unscored writing sample administered at the end of the test. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some applicants will be granted extended time, typically time and a half, if they meet certain criteria. For example, applicants who have been diagnosed with ADHD, a learning disability, such as dyslexia, or a psychiatric diagnosis, such as anxiety that affects the ability to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, those who have previously been approved for extended time on other exams, such as the SAT or ACT will likely receive approval for extended time on the LSAT.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to apply for extended time, applicants need to submit a psychoeducational evaluation that has been completed within the past three years. The evaluation should provide a diagnosis and a detailed description of how the reported symptoms affect the applicant\u2019s ability to function.<\/span><\/p>\n
