NBME accommodations appeal

[TacticalTurtle]

Has anybody applied for extended time accommodations prior to Step 1 and been denied by the NBME? Were you successful in getting accommodations on appeal? Did you use a lawyer or just submit the appeal yourself? Did you say anything or do anything you thought particularly helped your appeal?

Hey, I am in the same boat.
You don't mind sharing any advise you have gathered how to go about the appeal process.

I submitted my application in January for accommodations and was denied in April. I submitted my reconsideration paperwork about a week after I received my denial email. I'm still waiting to hear back. I can let you know what they say whenever I hear back. The process takes a REALLY long time. Any specific questions just message me. Happy to help!

Hi, did any of you hear back from your appeal process? I was just denied accommodations and am looking for insight regarding an appeal.
