[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This extra time drama is blown out of proportion just like the belief that DEI students are getting in over elites (check out private school "going to college" threads). My kid was given extra time due to ADHD. He took the SAT once without it, got like a 1270.  Took it 3 months later with the extra time (which he did not want- we forced him) and got a 1270. Yes, the exact score and exact on both sections.

Took it again 6 months later after doing a study book. It was the in school one, no extra time, and got a 1480.   He said he much preferred regular time and also wont use extra time for any APs. If your kid does not know how to do the problem, staring at it another minute is not going to fix that.  It actually really annoyed our child to have long delays between sections.  You have to wait for the "extra time" to expire before moving on.

Just bc your kid may or may not have needed extra time doesn’t mean that others aren’t exploiting this allowance.[/quote]
