<p>ACT and SAT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS </p>
<p>While the scored content is no different, students granted extra time sit in different rooms for the testing. Both ACT and SAT offer rooms for students getting 50% additional time. The SAT omits the equating section for students granted additional time, saving approximately 40 minutes and making total test time exactly 5 hours. </p>
<p>Students granted more than 50% extra time arrange with their school to have an "unlimited" time ACT session. For SAT, the "unlimited" time is DOUBLE TIME, and students meet in regular test centers on successive days - a four hour session on Saturday and a four hour session on Sunday. </p>
<p>Both SAT and ACT will allow a reader for certain students, Braille tests for others, and electronic essay inputs for students whose limited motor skills keep them from writing legibly. </p>
<p>Students with extended time no longer have their scores "flagged". Until 2003, colleges could see which applicants had taken the test under non-standard conditions. Most colleges did not discriminate against those who were granted extended time, but some did. In an effort to protect the wishes of member colleges that wished to retain the "flagging", the College Board, publishers of the SAT, steadfastly litigated against parents demanding change. In 2002 The College Board settled a lawsuit brought by a Berkeley-based disability rights group and ended flagging in June 2003. The ACT soon followed and ended its flagging in October 2003. At the time just under 5% of SAT testers were granted special accommodation, but, as expected, that percentage has risen since then. </p>
<p>Getting special accommodations can be done through the school or though an MD. Not all who seek consideration are approved. Of the 50,000 who sought ACT special accommodation in 2004, 88% of the requests were honored, according to ACT spokesman Charles Parmalee. SAT approval rates seem similar, but the specific percentage is unavailable.</p>
