Obtaining Accommodations on the SAT Examination


In Order to obtain accommodations on the SAT Examination, a student must first apply for accommodations.  College Board has a unique application process that must be completed roughly 2 months before the examination.  To start this process, please email me and I will help you through the process. Below you will find some helpful frequently asked questions that should clarify and questions you may have.


Q.)  If my son/daughter has a 504 plan or IEP are they automatically qualified for extended time?

A) No.  College board has their own specific criteria for determining eligibility.  A student must have full cognitive and achievement tests completed within the last 5 years.  Even with the up to date testing, a student is not guaranteed the approval by college board.

Q)  What if my son/daughter has a note from a doctor that they have a diagnosed disability?

A)  The only way to apply for accommodations is with the previously mentioned testing.  

Q)  What is my son/daughter needs accommodations because of a medical condition?

A)  Students with medical conditions can apply for accommodations.  In order to apply, a doctors note is needed clarifying the diagnosed disability and the accommodations required.  Note: Extended time will not be granted for a medical condition.
