[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was denied an extended time accommodation on the SAT, but got less important ones like small group testing. This was shocking to us because he's had an ADHD diagnosis since 1st grade and uses extended time regularly (slow reader), so there's a clear history. He got extended time and other expected accommodations for the ACT. Our school told us that the Collegeboard is getting much stricter with the extended time accommodations, specifically. Maybe in light of the Varsity Blues scandal? Is that what other people are finding or hearing? Or is it possible the school messed up his application and is just covering? [/quote] Serious question: at one point do kids stop relying on these crutches? Do you think an employer will give him extra time to complete tasks? It doesn’t work that way.[/quote] There are very few interesting and creative jobs that require false time pressure like the SAT. [/quote]
