Additional time arrangements for LNAT puts applicants at a disadvantage?

Hi,My daughter currently gets extra time for her A levels due to disability.She is thinking of applying to do Law at Oxford and Durham, both of which require applicants to take the LNAT test as part of thisIt is possible to apply for access requirements such as additional time, however it says on the LNAT website:"The LNAT universities to which you have applied will be informed of your examination access arrangements and will be able to take these into consideration when evaluating your LNAT result."So, this sounds like she might be at a disadvantage by having the extra time because they 'adjust' the result downwards. Is she best just doing it without the extra time and hope that she can write enough or be more concise?Thanks

If they adjusted downwards then it would make allowing extra time redundant essentially, therefore i think that they mean for example if they know they have dyslexia, they will take into account that their grammar might be effected.

Don't quote me on this though, I may be wrong) and certainly in real life after graduation she won't, so it's reasonable that universities should be made aware of the extra time she was given when deciding if she would be able to cope with the demands of the course and being a lawyer.

Yes, that what I thought which is why I thought it was a strange statement for them to make

I guess this is an attempt to be able to more fairly compare applicants, since those given extra time could be having an unfair advantage. Although maybe it works the other way too, and universities may be able to see that you qualified for extra time and so be more lenient of things like spelling, but I doubt it. I also doubt that they would actually recalculate her result downwards though, just have it in their minds that she had more time to answer the questions than her competition.

It's probably best for your daughter to practice some LNAT papers to see if she is struggling for time, and if not then don't apply for extra time. It's possible that at university she wouldn't get extra time (from what I understand, you have to be reassessed? Don't quote me on this though, I may be wrong) and certainly in real life after graduation she won't, so it's reasonable that universities should be made aware of the extra time she was given when deciding if she would be able to cope with the demands of the course and being a lawyer.

Thanks all. I'm probably just worrying unnecessarily on her behalf. I just think that if they're making arrangements to level the playing field they don't then need to inform the universities as well as they are in danger of either cancelling out the extra time or "double counting" the benefit of it, depending how they take it into account.
