[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Board approves 94% of requests??? So there is no real investigation? Who ever said it was difficult to get extra time accommodation is full of hog wash. A 94% approval rate is not an indication that it is difficult to get approval.[/quote]

College board requires proof of diagnosis for accomodations.   Once you have a qualified diagnosis, who is the College Board to say that the kid's diagnosis isn't valid?   Getting an evaluation to get a diagnosis is an $$$ multiday process.   All of you people implying that parents and kids are faking should count your lucky stars that your kid doesn't have a learning disability or other learning challenges.[/quote]

25% of the kids have a diagnosis of learning disability at a single public high school?
Most of these kids are just kids with parents who think their kids are smarter than they actually are.
Your kid should probably just take the test under the same conditions as everyone else and then explain their learning disability in their essay.[/quote]
