WHO THIS IS FOR
LSAT test-takers whose score doesn't match what they know.
If you run out of time on sections you can answer, lose your place in long passages, or freeze once the clock starts, the LSAT may be measuring your condition more than your reasoning. Accommodations exist to level that out.
ADHD
Sustained attention, working memory, and pacing through dense Reading Comprehension passages.
Executive Functioning
Planning, time management, and getting started, which timed sections punish most.
Autism Spectrum
Sensory load, processing speed, and shifting between question types under time pressure.
Test Anxiety
Clinically significant anxiety that impairs performance on high-stakes, timed exams.
You're a good fit if you:
Were never formally diagnosed but have compensated for years through school
Had accommodations in college or on the SAT, ACT, or GRE and need current documentation
Have an evaluation that is more than five years old, the limit on LSAC's form for ADHD and psychological conditions
Were denied before, or approved for less than you need, and want stronger documentation
Are up against a registration deadline and need a clinician who can move quickly
Already approved on a previous LSAT? LSAC usually carries approvals forward automatically. I'll tell you on the consultation if you don't need me.
WHAT YOU CAN REQUEST
Common LSAT accommodations.
Your documentation should connect each request to a specific limitation. These are the accommodations my clients ask for most often.
01
50% Extended Time
The most common request for ADHD and anxiety (Category 2).
04
Extended Breaks
A longer intermission between sections.
New for 2026–27
Important updates: sit/stand, walk/stretch, and food accommodations are now handled as stop/start breaks. Assistive technology, paper-and-pencil format, and modality exceptions no longer carry forward automatically, so they need a new request even if you were approved before.
02
100% Extended Time
An exceptional-needs request needing a stronger objective rationale (Category 3).
05
Separate Room
For in-person test center administrations.
03
Stop/Start Breaks
Pause the clock to reset, move, or eat.
06
Modality Exceptions
Remote vs. in-person, when one format is a barrier.
What LSAC needs depends on what you ask for.
LSAC DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Category 1
Accommodations that don't add time, such as a separate room
Proof of prior academic accommodations or verification of your disability from a Qualified Professional
Category 2
Up to 50% extended time; reader or scribe
Prior identical or equivalent accommodations or Qualified Professional documentation with a reasonable explanation of why you need each accommodation
Category 3
More than 50% extended time, extended breaks, paper-and-pencil, multi-day testing
Prior equivalent accommodations or Qualified Professional documentation with an objective rationale based on your history and objective evidence
Summarized from LSAC's published documentation requirements and the Qualified Professional Form (revised May 2026). LSAC defines a Qualified Professional as someone licensed or properly credentialed with expertise in the disability. Always confirm current rules at lsac.org.
What LSAC-compliant means here
Every evaluation I write meets LSAC's published documentation requirements for your request category. That means a completed Qualified Professional Form (current May 2026 version), a DSM-5-TR / ICD-10 diagnosis, documentation within LSAC's five-year window, current functional limitations on timed testing, and a written rationale for each accommodation. LSAC makes every final decision, so no evaluator can guarantee approval. Compliant documentation gives your request the best chance on the first review.
GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
Why LSAT requests get denied
Most requests fail because the paperwork falls short, not because the need isn't real. My documentation is written to close these gaps.
1
2
A diagnosis with no functional impact — Naming ADHD isn't enough. LSAC wants to see how it limits you on a timed test today.
Outdated documentation — LSAC's form sets a five-year limit for ADHD and psychological conditions.
3
4
No reason given for the specific request — Each accommodation, and each amount of extra time, needs its own rationale.
A generic letter — A short note from a prescriber rarely covers what the Qualified Professional Form asks.
5
6
Asking for more than the evidence supports — Category 3 requests need objective history and evidence.
Missing the deadline — Requests are due by the registration deadline for your test date, and LSAC makes no exceptions.

YOUR EVALUATOR
You'll meet the clinician who writes your documentation. I'm Ellen Kipnis, a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Florida. For more than 12 years I've worked with college, graduate, and law-school-track students with ADHD, autism, executive functioning challenges, and test anxiety. I know how often high achievers compensate for years, and how that can hide what's really going on.
Written for LSAC's reviewers — Your documentation follows the structure of the Qualified Professional Form: diagnosis, current functional impact, and a rationale for each accommodation.
Straight answers about your odds — If your request needs psychological testing I don't provide, or you don't need an evaluation at all, I'll tell you on the consultation.
Support after you submit — If LSAC asks for more information, I'll help you understand what they flagged and how to respond.

COMPARING PROVIDERS?
Before you pay for any LSAT accommodations evaluation, ask:
Will I meet live with the licensed clinician who signs my documentation?
Is the fee flat, with the Qualified Professional Form included?
Does the report explain why I need each specific accommodation?
Is rush turnaround available if my deadline is close, and what does it cost?
