<p>And she got into NYU. I recently read this online and I had no idea that if you are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD you're eligible for more time on the SAT I. This could potentially make a HUGE difference (like 100+ pts.) especially on the math sections which I get very frustrated on. If you took the test under special conditions like this one, is it noted on the score report? Would a higher score with more time be * much* less respectable, if not totally illegitimate? And if one is already diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, how does he/she go about asking Collegeboard for additional time?</p>
<p>thats irrelevant...she could have gotten into Harvard if she wanted to....with or without the extra time :-</p>
<p>hell, she could have gotten into harvard with or without TAKING THE FREAKIN TEST!</p>
<p>Let's not exaggerate. Even Bush had to take the SAT.</p>
<p>I don't know how you ask the collegeboard for extra time, but it is not noted on your score report. I think it used to be, but the policy was changed. You can also get extended time for AP tests because of a learning disability.</p>
<p>i believe that to get extended time you need to take a series of tests with an approved psychologist, and also be able to prove that you have add/adhd. i don't think its noted anywhere if you recieve extended time, and if you need it because of medical reasons, by all means take it.
i personally have issues with extended time because once students get into college the extended time benefits (usually) stop there. i think everyone should have to take the same test for the same amount of time.</p>
<p>here is the collegeboard site on learning disabilities and accomodations</p>
<p>meh. Bush got a 1210 on his SAT. Went to Andover, Yale, then Harvard. And now he's the President of the United States. I envy that lucky bastard; got the right genes.</p>
<p>i have add and my math sat is just fine</p>
<p>I don't envy Bush. I would love to have his resources, but I would never want to be him. He's foolish.</p>
<p>Yes, I envy Bush's RESOURCES. Not the being of himself. Sorry for misnomer.</p>
<p>Yes, if you have special testing conditions, it will be noted on the report to the colleges.</p>
<p>i heart bush</p>
<p>ditto, ra2000a</p>
<p>I'm not madly in love with Bush myself, but it isn't really fair to compare his 1210 back then with our scores today.</p>
<p>pcrunner17,</p>
<p>If you recenter his score, it actually translates into a 1280.</p>
<p>he makes yale look bad...but either ways i still would never EVER want my last name to be bush...i wouldnt mind it being kennedy tho or ford or gates umm...well actualy ill stick with my last name for now- hey what colleges did bushes ds go to?</p>
<p>Colleges do know if you have extra time, and even if you truly have ADD/ADHD, they still look down upon your scores because all you need is a cooperative doctor to write you a note, which leads to corruption for many who are wealthy and personally know doctors.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and WHY do we care about Mary-Kate Olsen anyway. The rich and powerful do what they want. the Olsens were allowed to get their driving LICENSES before they were 16 years old. Therefore MK was bound to go to whatever collge she wanted.</p>
<p>Maybe it was because of their state regulations, did you think about that? I think some states allow that, it just depends. But yeah, I agree w/ your first statement.</p>
