[quote=Anonymous]ACT is same process -- school applies and if you have a 504 you don't need any more documentation (unless you are asking for something that is not on your 504).

Main difference is that I think you are not supposed to register for an ACT test date until you have your accommodation, but you should double check that.

All the stuff about providing evidence of performance on timed tests is really for parents of homeschoolers, those without 504 plans (maybe because they go to private which doesn't document accommodations) or someone who is newly diagnosed and doesn't have a 504 plan yet.  So that doesn't apply to you if you are at a public or private school and have a 504 -- then your school applies for you and the 504 is enough because a qualified group of people evaluated your child and decided it was necessary.  Whatever the underlying data was for that decision, neither ACT nor SAT is going to review that decision or go against it -- it's too much effort and just opens a legal can of worms for them.
