[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this sounds crazy, but I don't see how extra time helps. I was smart and affluent and always finished early. I'm a fast reader and extra time wouldn't have helped me. [/quote] You would know if you needed it. We just went through our 4th round of private evaluations for my DS. This time we paid 3K out of pocket. Insurance covered 1K. Was it good for him to miss 2 1/2 days of school for the eval? No. But the psychologist confirmed once again that he has ultra slow processing and poor attention. He uses every second of his extended time on these tests and at school. DS also has an IEP and receives special education and College Board receives this documentation. The SAT/ACT are tests of aptitude, AP exams content knowledge and writing ability, etc. None of them are speed tests per se, and I believe they should be untimed for all students. [/quote]
