DS scored a 1500 on PSAT without accommodations this past fall - I wonder if that impacted the request. Our school counselors are perplexed by the denial.

Maybe, if your DS scored a 1500 on the PSAT without accommodations, he doesn't need it.  It seems he's doing just fine if he's scoring 1500/1520 on the PSAT.[/quote]

His anxiety is affecting him and causing him distress that he won’t do well on the SAT. I explained the denial and gave him the option to take the test without accommodations or pursue an appeal. He’s rather appeal now.

He also mentioned he felt rushed during the PSAT. We are requesting time and half and allowances for breaks. I don’t think it’s unreasonable given his diagnoses - he’s had executive functioning issues since age 3, all documented by developmental pediatricians.

I do believe he would do well on SAT even without accommodations but am willing to give it another go with an appeal.

Maybe you should get his anxiety under control before going the cheating on a test route.

Life can be high pressure at times, now is just as good a time to learn how to cope as any.  [/quote]
