<p>Hi so I am entitled to extra time and was wondering is there is a specofic time frame within which I can sit the act since I have 50% extra time and if this is true what would that time frame be? I am mainly asking people who have sat the act before or have any experience with this situation. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I have not personally experienced this, but a person at my school has extra time and i know how it works. They give her 5 hours to complete the test. You can work on any section within that time limit, it doesn’t matter. They basically just give you the test and say, “you have 5 hours, go.” You do have to complete it all in one sitting.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if the test is sat on the same day as everyone else or if there is a specific time frame within which people with accommodation can actually sit the ACT - so the ACT is sat in one sitting, but the day that it is actually done can vary between when the test center can actually sit those people?</p>
<p>Oh, I see what you’re saying. I’m not actually sure about that.</p>
<p>Ok thanks for the reply! Anyone else know anything? </p>
<p>My kid took it with extra time at the same time as others, they just had a special room. BUT, you need to make sure the testing center you register at can provide that accommodation on that date. I can’t remember how it was done for the ACT… you might need to call and ask if there is no way to put it in when you sign up online for the test.</p>
<p>I took it with extra time, so I think that I can help you out. The general set-up is the same as others. You sign up for a test at a testing center. You go to the testing center and they assign you to a room. It’s on the same day as everyone else. You sit in a separate room with like 10 other people. You have 5 hours to do all of the sections at your own pace. With writing, you have 5 hours and 45 minutes. You can take breaks after any section. </p>
<p>I hope that I helped. Good luck. </p>
<p>How do colleges differentiate bewteen those who took it with extra time or no extra time? Is there an asterisk or some mark on your score report?</p>
<p>@austin23 We’re not different so why should our score reports be different? No, colleges don’t differentiate. </p>

What do you mean you’re not different? You got extra time. Right? How do you qualify to get extra time?</p>
<p>@austin23 Yeah, I got extra time. There are rigorous standards for qualifying to get extra time. You need an IEP, a diagnosis of disability and other things. </p>
