[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAT offers 2 timing options, except maybe for very extreme cases.  Regular time, and extended time (1.5 time on the same day as regular testing)

The ACT offers 5 options.

Regular time

National Extended Time (1.5 time on the same day as regular testing)

Special testing with regular time (Testing takes the same amount of time, but is broken up over multiple days)

Special testing with 1.5 time (Testing takes the same amount of time, but is broken up over multiple days)

Special testing with double time (Testing takes the same amount of time, but is broken up over multiple days)

My DS has time and a half at school, with breaks, but qualified the first time for Special Testing with Double Time.

He went to school the week after school was out, every day for a week, and took 1 section a day, 1:1 (just him and a proctor).  The SAT doesn't offer anything close to that level of accommodation.

Do colleges know when a child receives these types of accommodations?[/quote]
