Applicants seeking accommodations must submit a completed Request for Testing Accommodations form (A), provide documentation from a licensed healthcare professional that establishes the existence of a disability (B), and may also include a personal statement explaining their specific need for accommodations (D). A letter from an employer (C) is not a requirement for accommodations.

Question 2

Which of the following are potential accommodations that may be granted for the Connecticut Bar Exam?

Accepted Answer

Extended testing time.

Answer

Extended testing time (A), permission to bring food or drink into the exam room for medical reasons (B), and alternate test formats like braille or large print (C) are reasonable accommodations. Exemption from specific sections of the exam (D) is not typically granted as the purpose of accommodations is to level the playing field, not to alter the exam content.

Under what circumstances might an applicant be denied accommodations for the Connecticut Bar Exam?

Accepted Answer

If the documentation does not clearly establish the existence of a disability.

The same deadline as the standard bar exam application.

Answer
