saw Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If your student has accommodations from the College Board, how difficult was it to find a testing centre that would provide the accommodations? My DS has school-based accommodations (use of laptop), which means that the school is supposed to let him test there. He attends a school that is not a testing centre but apparently it doesn't matter, all they have to do is administer the test individually to DS. School refuses to test him, so I think, from what I gathered from the CB site, I need to find him a testing centre that will agree to test him with accommodations. If your student has done this, how hard was it to find a centre to accommodate? I need to figure out a plan. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 We used the local CC. They are used to providing accommodations for their students and it was no problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2att Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It was not difficult at all. I signed my son up at our local high school. The accommodations are listed on the ID form that all students have to print out, and the testing center gets that info before hand as well. It's a huge school with hundreds of students testing that day, so he was not the only one needing accommodations. I didn't anticipate it being a problem, and it wasn't--hope you have a similar experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While schools are often the location for SAT testing, the test is not administered by the school. The PSAT is, AP Exams are, but the SAT is not.

Julie of KY Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 It was easy to find testing centers with accommodations for SAT (and ACT). AP exams can be a very different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Almost all the testing centers for SAT and ACT do accommodations. You just sign up with accommodations. No need to contact them or anything. It is super easy - not like APs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
