<p>Can extra time be granted for students with ADD or ADHD on the AP test? If so, how much usually?</p>
<p>I don't know about AP, but I recall reading about someone in another forum who had ADD and had unlimited time on the ACT. Sorry that I don't have more info!</p>
<p>ask collegeboard and tell them about the condition</p>
<p>What you do is apply for the services for disabled at collegeboard.com, where your school has to approve and i think you have to prove that you have ADD. (I was in disabled room for taking SAT cause im a diabetic, dont recommend it, cause everyone but me had more time...all i got was food on my desk)
Anyways, im not sure for AP, but for the SAT's, the kids got half the time of the section added on to the original time. So...20 minutes for a section became 30 minutes.</p>
<p>You have to register WAAAY before the test, so be quick. You will most likely be put in a separate room too. Call your local AP coordinator for extra info.</p>
<p>yes christalena is right. </p>

<p>as she said, be quick because they usually want to be notified of these things way in advance. from my knowledge, you need to either have a doctors note or written explanation of the problem OR you can have your guidance counselor write an explanation of your situation as well as provide specific instances of how the school handled your other testing [aka like your usual day to day tests]</p>
<p>hope this helps! good luck!</p>
<p>Usually accommodations--extra time being most common-- are based on the type of disability and apply to all tests--SAT, SATII, AP-- once granted. CollegeBoard will require testing and will expect the same accommodations are used in school.</p>
