Testing Accommodations Explained

For the past couple of years, I’ve been meeting with the Brighton PTSA (my home district!) to explain the ins and outs of applying for accommodations on the SAT and ACT. This year, my presentation was recorded for the benefit of parents who couldn’t make the live event. If you have questions about what accommodations are available for the SAT and ACT as well as how best to apply for them, enjoy the show!

Note that I reference a PowerPoint deck throughout the presentation that somehow didn’t make the video. No worries though, as the links below present every point in superior detail.

  • How do I apply for testing accommodations?
  • What kind of accommodations are available on the ACT and SAT?
  • Do I or my student qualify for testing accommodations?
  • What are the extended time rules for the ACT and SAT?
  • Are there special accommodations for English language learners?

Are tests with accommodations weighed the same as tests without?

Yes, Nicholas. In fact, schools have no way to know if a test was taken with accommodations.
