[quote=Anonymous]It's definitely not too early to think about this in 8th grade and make sure the right accommodations are in place for HS. CollegeBoard runs both the SATs and AP exams and it's very easy, if not automatic, to get 1.5 or 2x time depending on how the kid's IEP or 504 is written. For the ACT, which is a longer test than the SAT, 1.5 or 2x time can make for an incredibly long test, which is counter-productive. The IEP or 504 needs to be written with a statement that says that for any exam of 4 hours or more, the student should be given the option of taking it over two days. If you don't have that language, you're not going to get the right accommodations from the ACT.[/quote]
