[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tutor here - scores are totally worthless if your kid has accommodations and didn’t get them.  Have you formally apied to both College Board and aCT for accommodations?  If not, that is why DD didn’t get accommodations. Your school 504 plan doesn’t trigger SAT and ACT, your school has to take that plan and apply. You can do that anytime for SAT, and once done the granted accommodations are available for all SAT and AP exams or any other College Board products for years (life?) You must be registered for an ACT test to submit a request for accommodations and you have to re-request the accommodations for each test, although once provided they seem to be the same each time subsequently requested.

I do not know why schools fail to request and provide accommodations.  It happens at every stage - in school plans and for testing and it a form of illegal disability discrimination. [/quote]

Yes, her accommodations were uploaded to the College Board. I have a letter from College Board verifying her eligibility. Her school sent her to the wrong room. When I learned what happened and complained, the administrator apologized and said it wouldn’t happen again. The counselor said not to worry, it’s just practice. I’m more concerned it will happen again when it really matters.[/quote]
