Oct 3rd LSAT w/ accomodations - Non-disclosed = ?

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time on October 3rd, with accommodations, and I just realized that my understanding of what a "non-disclosed test" means is incorrect. I had originally thought that all "non-disclosed" meant in an accommodations sense was that my own scores, my own test booklet, etc wouldn't be available for me to view when my score came in, unlike people who tested without accommodations (although I have no idea why this is the policy...) Under this assumption, I thought that I would be taking the same test as everyone else. However, I have now encountered information that says that I will be taking an *entirely* different test from what everyone else is taking?! Is this true? (Also, why!?!) Does anyone on TLS have experience with this? I don't know what to expect...

Because you will be taking an *entirely* different test, rather than the usual LR/RC/LG sections, you should expect to be asked questions like how to draw an elephant or who is the smartest person alive or something.

Lol there will be 5 sections as usual with same number of questions. Just that you will be using different test paper and the curve will accordingly be different, like two administrations. There is no point to worry about. Good luck.

I'm taking the October exam with accommodations (18 extra minutes per section) and I was told by LSAC that the exam will be disclosed. We will be taking the same exact exam as others. Also, you will not have an experimental section.

Incorrect. The test will be the same and there will be no experimental section.

Yes. There is an extensive list and explanations on LSAC's accommodations webpage.

Oh, my bad, I was just speculating. You can always check with LSAC when in doubt. But I sure wouldn't worry about test content, difficulty, etc.
