In addition to the stress of taking an admission
or pre-admission test, students with disabilities must address the
issue of testing accommodations. Eligibility, documentation, procedures
and timelines need to be considered when applying for accommodations.
The two major testing companies (ACT and the College Board) have
different procedures and requirements. Become familiar with these
procedures. Deadlines for submitting this paperwork are much earlier
than the application deadline to take the test.
The SAT is administered through the College Board,

The College Board is a national nonprofit membership association
whose mission is to prepare, inspire, and connect students to college
success and opportunity.
ACT is an independent, not-for-profit organization
that provides more than a hundred assessment, research, information,
and program management services in the broad areas of education
and workforce development.
