So when we talk about applying for accommodations, with the SAT, the company, the not-for-profit that does the SAT is called College Board.
You can apply for accommodations at any time through College Board.
Your school's SSD coordinator or guidance counselor can submit the educational and psychological testing and history of accommodations.
And it's pretty straightforward.
But when you are applying for accommodations on the ACT, you actually have to register for a test date.
And it's these subtle nuances that are important to navigate
When we talk about going back to what I was saying before about the importance of taking a diagnostic test to figure out what test is right for you, when you consider that you may qualify or get accommodations on one test versus the other, it really underscores the need to figure out what your accommodations are for your student.
Forget tutoring or studying on your own.
Before you even take a baseline test,
I have used the analogy, if you're trying to figure out if your child is good at basketball, you don't start by telling them to start shooting hoops on a 15-foot rim, when in reality, it's a 10-foot hoop.
That's not going to be an indication of how they're going to play and how they're going to succeed.
So it's small things like having conversations early with 10th grade parents and saying,
you should consider registering for a test even with no intention of taking it for the ACT just so that you can figure out what the accommodations are and you can plan accordingly because you can always pay to switch the test date to a later date.
So it's small things like that that are really important to understand and it's why it's great having this conversation early.
So there's lots of ways to do it.
For my company, we will actually, for any family that reaches out to us, we send an SAT and ACT diagnostic test.
to families for them to take, and then we grade and evaluate them for free.
But you can also get SAT and ACT diagnostic tests.
Most often, if you go to the guidance department's office, they should have practice booklets.
You can download tests from College Board for the SAT and then the ACT as well and take them on your own.
