How long did it take ACT to process your request for extended time?

Test Preparation

<p>My S's application was sent by his school on Jan 30th for extended time for the June 9th ACT, and we still haven't heard from ACT as to whether it's been approved or not. Has anyone else gotten their accomodation request processed this spring? How long did it take?</p>

<p>S got extended time accommodations from the SAT College Board, and the process was so much faster. The LD coordinator at his high school called in early April and was told by the ACT folks that S's application was "still being processed." I figured they were trying to get through the applications for the kids taking the ACT in April. But now it's May, and we are inside of a month to go.</p>

<p>Is this typical?</p>

<p>I called ACT and a kind woman named Connie got my S’s application out of “Processing Purgatory”, got it approved, and voila, his new admission ticket appeared on the website with extended time granted. All within 20 minutes of my call. </p>

<p>The lesson is, keep calling, I guess.</p>
