Learning disability and the SAT

<p>Bottom line, both the ACT and SAT provide accommodations for extra time IF you have a documented LD where such accommodations would be appropriate. This generally means there needs to be an established, not recent, diagnosis via a full neuropsychological evaluation and testing. If you are given extra time to complete the test, this fact is not reported with your score. Some people here apparently think that’s unfair, but there’s not much they can do about it. As others have pointed out, this entire process isn’t necessarily “fair.” If you believe you qualify for accommodations, and that it will help you demonstrate your academic capabilities, then request them. If your request is deemed valid, you can take the test with extended time. Good luck to all. </p>
