[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From our recent experience over the past 2 years, the College Board often denies accommodations unless you can provide documentation (i.e. a psychoeducational test completed in the past three years) that your child needs the accommodations. My child's counselor submitted the accommodations that he had been using since elementary school and was originally denied. After we went out and spent thousands of dollars to get him re-tested, he was able to get his accommodations. The whole situation was bogus. Parents should not be obligated to spend significant amounts of money so that their child can get the same accommodations they have been using in school. The denial specifically said that our testing was older than three years and we would have to submit current testing for an appeal.

I agree with the requirement for testing every 3 years. You should consider yourself lucky that your school didn't ask for updated documentation before now to continue providing accommodation - they should have.
