[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh.  Everyone I knew whose kids had accommodations took the SAT.  And never took the test w/o accommodations, so couldn’t compare scores.[/quote]

Everyone I know had their kids diagnosed after scoring poorly the first time. I have a senior in FCPS and she knows at least 5 kids who did this within the past year and a half. These are all kids who had weighted GPAs over 4.0 before testing. This is a huge problem. [/quote]

We had one in honors classes and parents did not want him to sit for any standardized tests until they could get a doctors notes and testing - parents had done this for older kids. Got the extended time accommodations and crowed about perfect score in ACT and 780 in chem and math subject tests although he was not a top student in those classes. What was his accommodation? It was audio sensory - something about difficultly to process audio lectures. Not sure why that requires extra time in ACT or SAT since there are no lectures. He was aiming for HYP.[/quote]
