Accommodations Eligibility for The College Board & ACT Testing

Students needing accommodations for standardized testing and college admissions tests must apply for those accommodations through the College Board or ACT (School’s SSD Coordinator may also apply on behalf of the student).  Written approval from the College Board is necessary for a student to receive accommodations such as extended time on any College Board exam (PSAT, SAT I, SAT II, AP, and SAT Subject Tests). The ACT also has a formal approval process, and students must complete the appropriate applications for accommodations on the ACT exam (as well as ACT Aspire testing).
