[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an AP teacher, I'd like to reassure you.  I have multiple students who will receive accommodations in the form of extra time.  These students were diagnosed with mild ADHD only, so you should be fine.  I can't remember College Board ever denying accommodations to one of ours students.  They are very lenient (too lenient) about this.[/quote]

Yes, but there's no way they will grant him an accommodation that the school didn't ask for.  So, there is no way he'll have one of his most important accommodations given that it wasn't in the paperwork.

Did you ask College Board what they advise you to do?  Also, you need to email the person who was remiss about processing the request, and be sure to CC the principal.

What was the accommodation that the school did not request?[/quote]

The accommodation that they did not request was "stop clock" which allows for breaks during subtests (e.g. When symptoms arise, student is allowed to get up and move, for example to the bathroom, and then return and continue testing without losing time because the clock is stopped until they return).

The College Board was the one who gave me the first 3 options.  Of course, they did not suggest switching to the ACT.

I have emailed and called the person who was remiss, but she is out sick today.  [/quote]
