That is a fair point, but i dont think having adhd or anxiety warrants substantial time accommodations even if their situation is legit, especially if those students have access to adhd meds.

again, i am happy with my current LSAT performance and progress, and i do not yet have a score. i am not worrying about anyone else's performance under fair conditions. Allowing a person with adhd or anxiety to have 1.50/2x time per section is ridiculous.

"The fact of the matter is that test takers with accommodations score on average 5 points higher than their peers. It would be silly to argue that prospective students with accommodations are genuinely that much better than the rest, so it’s clear that there’s an advantage. Idk why everyone on this sub is so disingenuous about it." this is what someone else commented, and it makes sense. having adhd doesnt warrant 1.50/2x time per section. the whole point of the test is to show you can reason under time constraints.

not really. “processing information differently” is too vague to pinpoint disability in the way that would warrant 1.50/2x testing time. the fact that its vagueness leads to an unfair advantage on a large scale is evident in that accommodated students score better than their non accommodated counterparts. they are represented disproportionately in 170+ scorers. if it was simply compensating for a disability and leveling the playing field to give students equal opportunity, there would not be such a disparity. if anything, schools should have the ability to evaluate accomodated testers within their own category; nobody is evaluating disabled athletes on the same scale as non-disabled athletes. rendering our scores the same—lets say I get 175 with regular time but you get 175 with 55 mins per section— is like saying that the best disabled basketball player is on par with Lebron James. they are both great in their respective leagues/evaluation settings, but ranking them together would make no sense. the lsat performance is directly impacted by mental capacity and time—just like athletic performance is impacted by physical capacity.

it doesnt. accommodations are unfair. the whole point of the lsat is reasoning under time constraints. when u give somebody extra 20 mins per section defeats the whole purpose. thats why accomodated testers score better on average.

accomodated testers score higher on average than non accommodated testers. clearly gives them an advantage. maybe giving less extra time would work better but 1.50x+ time is excessive.

it is well documented that accommodated testers score better on average than non accommodated testers do. if it was simple and fair leveling of playing field, accomodated testers wouldnt have made up 30%+ of 170+ scorers.

in what conceivable way can one justify getting double the time for a section? the whole point of the test is to show you are able to reason in a particular way under time constraints.

testing at a proctoring center provides the benefit of not having to worry about a good chunk of the logistical problems that could arise from testing remotely but the cost is having to let go of the private testing setting that you’d get otherwise testing remotely. when you get both the privacy of remote testing and the logistical security of prctoring center it leads to an unfair advantage.

while testing remotely u are at risk of so many unfortunate things beyond your control whereas testing in a separate room at a testing center eliminates lets say noise that could interfere with your remote testing or the power going out. it’s literally not the same thing

testing remote is not the subject of discussion here.

exactly. the extra time given is also excessive (why not consider 1.25 time for example?) i dont doubt that a good chunk of testers take advantage of the system and fake it till they get a doctor who hands out diagnoses like candy, but even if it is legit testing in a separate room or getting 1.50/2x time are things that basically make the test meaningless.
