[quote=Anonymous]If the test designers are doing their job (test measures what it is supposed to without artifacts) then extra time could be allowed for everyone with no benefit to those without disabilities. In recent versions of SAT, they have rushed the research/ validation and can’t demonstrate the measurement equivalence of versions under different accommodation conditions. Since 20% of the population has a reading disability- most commonly dyslexia- these numbers for extended time seem about right. Not all kids with dyslexia are diagnosed and there are many other disabilities for whom extended time is an appropriate accommodation. The educational test publishers seem to have abandoned all professional standards in an attempt to make money.[/quote]
