[quote=Anonymous]One thing, OP.  You want this for ACT testing. But how old is your kid.  If the ACT works like CB, then you need to test, set up a 504 meeting, get the 504, and then have your kid use the accommodations for a year before you apply, so the school can certify the were used. So if you have a senior, or even a junior, this is going to be tough.

Also, we had an easy time getting accommodations, because DC has had 504 that he has used since he started middle school.  Honestly, if you are not getting the testing done or asking for accommodations until the end of HS, and you kid has decent grades without accommodations, this is going to be a big red flag for the CB or ACT. It looks like a kid who can keep up just fine without accommodations, and just wants them to test. And they try hard to weed these out.

Now, if you have a freshman or sophomore with poor grades in one or more class, and you start now, that is better. Although we were told we needed to lock accommodations in by the beginning of 10th, so he could use them for the 10th grade practice PSAT and sophomore APs.

Again, if you kid has already take PSAT practice tests and AP tests without accommodations, and the scores  are decent,  you are likely to be denied. [/quote]
