Just like the ACT and SAT, Advanced Placement exams allow eligible individuals to receive special testing accommodations. Because these accommodations can make a world of difference to a student’s testing experience and final score, there are some key facts to be aware of if you are considering requesting accommodations.
Types of Accommodations
The College Board, which administers the AP program, offers more than two dozen types of accommodations to test-takers with special needs, which may include visual impairments, learning differences and more.
The following are just a few examples of the accommodations for eligible test-takers:
— Access to a magnifying machine
— Access to a computer for essay writing
— Braille and large-print answer sheets
— Extended time
— Assistance from a scribe or sign language interpreter
— Preferential seating
— Frequent breaks
— Permission for food/medication in the testing room
— One-to-one testing
Who Is Eligible for Accommodations
Students with documented disabilities that could limit their ability to take AP tests may be eligible. If you have received accommodations from your school on other standardized tests, there is a high likelihood that you will qualify.
Also, if you have already been granted accommodations for the PSAT or SAT, which are administered by the College Board, you are likely eligible for those same accommodations for your AP exams. There’s no guarantee, however, given differences in test format and administration.
