[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contrary to what someone posted above, denials for extra time are common for ADHD.  Be prepared to appeal.  We did - got time and a half on SAT and double time on ACT.  You have to be persistent and in their face.[/quote]

This. The poster upthread who said there is nothing to the process is wrong. [/quote]

No, the PP just had a different, but valid, experience.  Some students are "no brainers" and get the accommodations quickly with no fuss.  These are students with more severe and obvious issues and who have had accommodations for many years or their entire school history.

Students that have not had the requested accommodations in their middle school and have only received them recently or have not had recent testing do have a harder time.  Recent testing is a requirement that easily avoids the second issue.

I think the timing of requesting accommodations is key too.  Usually accommodations are requested for the first College Board test- PSATs- so applying freshman year would give enough time to get the accommodations straight by the time a student takes an AP class.  When DC was granted accommodations from CB, it was for all CB testing- PSATs, SATS, APs, SAT Subject tests......  [/quote]
