[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread was very eye opening. I didn't really experience anyone using accommodations until I went to a mediocre private law school and noticed some of the rich kids received unlimited time on their exams for some unspecified disability that also happened to require those "study aid" drugs. Based on that, I thought testing accommodations were simply given out along with whatever diagnosis people could get from a doctor. I had no idea that children with actual learning disabilities and disorders were being denied testing accommodations.

Anyone know the diagnosis the scam artists used in the recent college cases to get the private hotel accommodations? There must be an "easy path" that the rich use to get these testing accommodations without any actual disability.[/quote]

That detail wasn’t in the indictment but it would have had to be more than just ADHD to get unlimited time testing. That is truly unusual, as is double time. Most common is 1.5 time. [/quote]
