THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ACT AND SAT

12/9/2016

As PSAT scores will be released next week to students, it might be a helpful time to review the issues around accommodations for SAT and ACT testing for students with disabilities.  It is great news that the College Board recently announced that they will be making it easier for students with disabilities to receive accommodations starting in January.  Read more about the changes at the College Board for 2017 and how this might impact your family.  In addition, here is information on obtaining accommodations for the ACT.  

Keep in mind that receiving accommodations is something you want to discuss with your high school counselor in a timely fashion. Discussing with your counselor when you would like to take the test is a first start, and then beginning the paperwork process to ensure you are able to meet your time frame will follow.  This leads to the question of when is the best time to take the ACT or SAT?  There is no one answer for all students. Here is an article that talks about some of the variables to consider.  If you are not sure about how to best handle the test taking options for your situation, talk it through with your counselor.  There are different variables to consider such as the challenges in taking it Spring of junior year with all of the heavy academics of that period of time, as well as what level math the student has taken before they sit for the exam.  Talk about your situation with your counselor and you will be able to come up with a plan that meets your needs.
