[blindlaw] LSAT accomodations

[Dan Matzkin]

I agree with Rod and Angie, only include an addendum if you think your
score was significantly hampered for some reason. I did include one, as
the time adjustment that LSAC wouldn't give me on the games section likely
would have made a five to seven point difference, based on practice test
results.
