[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For standardized tests they put the kids with extra time accommodations together so everyone can have extra time in one room.

For regular HS tests, most teachers will have the student come during lunch to start or finish the test. The test will be broken into two parts and they can get the second part after they finish the first part. This keeps them from looking up answers if there is a break between their class and lunch period. Your kid is going to need to be really proactive about managing and coordinating with the teacher on when they will be in the classroom for their extra time.

It may be possible that some kids do the other parts of the test during resource if they have that options.

Sometimes the amount of time set aside for the test is less than the full period. In this case the kid can just do it with extended time in class. The teacher will either hand them their test early or allow them to keep working after they collected the other tests.[/quote]

This is our exact experience for high school. For middle school almost nothing was timed (nor was anything that long or difficult) so it was a non-issue except for MCAP, which they administered in a separate location for kids with that accommodation. [/quote]
