[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure mine had to get approval for AP accommodations separate from 10th grade PSAT. It did not carry over, I don't think.[/quote]

Nope.  College Board is College Board.  Accommodations for PSAT, SAT and AP exams all are covered [/quote]

Yes, they are all covered, but I don't think you are correct that all students 
automatically roll over. Diagnoses change. Students have to have a new 504 meeting to keep school accommodations. My kid had to reapply for AP accommodations  after taking PSAT earlier in the year and AP the previous year. It's just a counselor approval, but it's there.

My kid's friend who had PSAT accommodations was not on the list for AP later in the year because he did not apply. (Had a crap guidance counselor).

Don't assume you're the expert. [/quote]

My child has had accommodations since ES.  Yes, 504 meetings every year.  However  I had been warned by a parent that had been burned, and once he was settled in 9th grade (mid- to late- Oct) we requested that his counselor request college board accommodationsas well as ACT accomodations.

We only had to do it once, he had 13 AP exams over 4 years, the 10th grade PSAT, one SAT and one ACT both jr year, and never had to make the request again, he always had accomodations.

This child is in college now, and works with the college disability office to get the accommodations he needs.[/quote]
