[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc has similar scores and has been diagnosed with language disorder.  DC has a 504 at school but SAT would not approve extended time so it is what it is.  I don't know how colleges view these kinds of scores.  I'm curious as well.[/quote]

I'm wondering how a kid whose writing scores put him in the top 30% and reading in the top 21% has a language disorder.[/quote]

That's what I thought when I googled the SAT percentages. Most people have strengths and weaknesses, however most people don't have the money, knowledge, or interest to get their kid privately assessed. If they did then I would estimate 75% of students could get a professional to write a report stating they need a 504 plan or extra time. I think I read a few years ago the percentage of kids at expensive private boarding schools getting additional time on the SAT had skyrocketed. [/quote]

The College Board has significantly increased the bar to getting accommodations. You don't automatically get one just because you have a 504 or an IEP, or because a professional says it's warranted.

My child with a language based disability was approved to use a keyboard and for extended time. Two of his friends with 504 plans for ADHD were not approved for extended time.
