[blindlaw] LSAT accomodations question

[Angie Matney]

I used my own laptop.

Tai, did you ask for a laptop when requesting accommodations? Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to discuss 
this here. But it seems different people are getting different results. I used the computer for the writing sample only.
