[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an actuary. I would not be happy if the actuarial exams gave extra time to those who gamed the system. Why? Some exam are graded on a curve. I didn’t realize some of the accomodations included calculators. That is really unfair to those without extended time - a calculator with extended time means one would have lessor chance of making silly calculation mistakes. [/quote] Well, the precise argument people seem to be making is that their disability causes them to make "silly calculation mistakes," and therefore they should not be held accountable for them the same way other people are.
