1Opinion of the Court

ZINTER, Justice.

[¶ 1.] Terry Lee LaFleur failed to pass the South Dakota bar examination on three occasions. On his last attempt, he failed even though the South Dakota Board of Bar Examiners granted his request for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Those accommodations included time and one half to take the exam and a private, distraction free room. Prior to a fourth attempt, LaFleur requested double time and other accommodations, but the Board only granted the accommodations provided on the third attempt. LaFleur appeals. We affirm.
