[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s what OP doesn’t tell you:  a whopping 4% of students who take the SAT get college board accommodations.   And not all college board accommodations are extra time.  Extra breaks, computer testing, low vision/ how hearing, 4 function calculators for dysgraphia are all counted in.

And for the most recent year there is data, kids who got accommodations, on average, scored 40-50 points lower than kids who did not (2400 SAT scale was in effect).

That seems a lot different than every ivy bound kid with no real LDs buying accommodations (which is illegal, and for which people are currently going to jail).

They are NOT going to jail for faking disabilities- they have medical backup.which they bought. They are going to jail for one or all of the following:
1. Have someone take the test for their kid
2. Have someone change the answers
3. Bribing someone to falsely application information
