[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really surprised at people being ‘surprised’ at SAT/ACT accommodations being manipulated. If you are wealthy, you have the money to buy a diagnosis.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is super shocked at the diagnosis buying. The shocking piece isn't that these kids got extra time. It is that they secured a fake diagnosis in order to get extra time, [b]and then that time was used by the proctor to change the answers[/b][i].

If they got extra time and used it to move slowly and carefully and check their answers more than most kids are able to do - that's just business as usual. [/quote]

No. They did not use the extra time to change the answers. I suppose in some cases maybe but the REAL key to the "racket" was using the accommodation along with a fake scheduling conflict to move the accommodated student to one of two facilities that CW-1 controlled (via bribes, part of the "racket"). By doing that, he could put his own brainy proctor in the room with the student alone, where they would either have the proctor take the test or help the student with answers.[/quote]
