<p>I have ADHD and cannot finish any section on either the SAT or ACT... i know it would help. how would I go about doing this?</p>
<p>Here’s the page for the SAT:
[SAT</a> - Students with Disabilities - Test Accommodations](<a href=“http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/for-students-with-disabilities]SAT”>http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/for-students-with-disabilities)</p>
<p>You can find a similar page on the ACT site.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>It is easier to get extended time on the SAT…ACT usually requires an additional disability (my ds, for example has a documented fine motor disability in addition to ADD). GC told me the ACT’s historical and unofficial stance on ADD/ADHD requests for extended time is that, if you can’t focus why ask students to focus for longer periods of time? The ACT required documented evaulations from within the past three years and evidence that the disability was not new.</p>
<p>They are also administered differently on test day. While both have sep extended time testing rooms, the SAT has time and a half per section and the ACT has an overall time extension of 90 min. My ds liked the ACT administration better as he needed the time in some sections but not others; so essentially finished the test in regular time, being allowed to work at his own pace. We mainly requested it for the writing portion so he could have the time needed to physically write the essay but he found it helpful and more relaxing to know he could move at his own pace for the whole test.</p>
