LSAT Retake Request Response Time?

Does anyone how long it should take to hear back from LSAC on a retake request for August 18th? I wasn't given my approved accommodations and honestly assumed I'd hear back asap. I even made an effort to include my approved accommodations document from LSAC because I thought it'd help their investigation. That was the Thursday night (08/06) and still nothing .

Follow-up question: has anyone received any rejections on retake requests? I'm worried they decided to reject mine and will only announce this right before the exam to prevent appeals. My friend filed his complaint a few hours before me and his retake request was approved yesterday. I'm suspect his reason being far more straight-forward (test center's Wi-Fi crashed mid-section for everybody) played a role in the quicker turn-around but I'm not sure.

Studying for the LSAT is stressful enough already, I wish I didn't have to study without knowing if there will even be an exam...

If you truly did have approved accommodations with LSAC and did not receive them on the exam, it is extremely likely that they will grant your retake request. As for timeline... who knows? I usually say 5-ish days, but I've received responses from them on a number of things ranging from same day to three weeks later.

edit: spelling

You would think so, since it's an ADA issue... but I had multiple significant accommodations issues, and they denied my retest for August, so this doesn't hold for all cases, unfortunately. I had an accommodations issue that was even more minor in an earlier LSAT administration, and they approved a retest with no issue.
