Extended time SAT test

Does anyone know if the extended time SAT test is a different test than everyone else gets on the same date?

I don’t think they are different.

Found out my son had a different test with a harder curve.

If it were the test taken on the same day (sat just with 1 1/2 time), I believed my kid told me it was the same test. My DD went to reddit and saw the discussions on the questions, those were the same questions, I had one DD who took the test on multiple days and the test would be different.

And @blairbeach , “harder curve” means easier test :slight_smile:

Students with extended time take the same test as students without disabilities. Taking a different version whether easier or more difficult is discriminatory. How would someone know that students taking a test in the same date have different tests? Seems like that would depend on reading each test item by item.

its the same test. please dont cheat and get a fake authorization from a professional saying you have some made up learning disability… people in my district are doing that and it pisses me off becuase im actually working hard to prepare.

It was a different test. The curve was different. My son got the same amount incorrect as his friend in the standard room and got a lower score than his friend.

It was a different test. My son got the same amount wrong as his friend without extended time and got a lower score. Different curve equals different test.

And my son didn’t cheat. He needs the extra time because he has dyslexia and reads at a 9th grade level.

@zannah the ACT test has a form number on the test paper. Hence it is easy to confirm that the kids who had accommodation had the same tests as their non-disabled peers.
On the other hand, I had heard reports that ACT sometimes gave different forms to the kids on the same test date (independent of whether the kids had accommodation).

I disagreed with your statement that

It is a fact that a different test date will have a different version of ACT, say the Sept OCT will be different from the Oct ACT, when a student reports a 34, it makes no difference whether the student took it in September or October.

When a student took the ACT on multiple days, the test was different from the Saturday ACT for the obvious reason.

@lillia3411 No one on this post mentioned they planned to cheat. May be you can bring your issues to your high school.

^^seriously, if people want to cheat, they won’t care whether you are upset.
