Sometimes, the best way to ensure that everyone taking a test is compared fairly is to make sure that not everyone takes the test the exact same way. Testing accommodations are meant to level the playing field in the case of disability or differences. Amy and Mike invited accommodations expert Bailey Graham to describe common mistakes in applying for ACT accommodations.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

  1. What accommodations are available to test takers?

  2. What is the right timeline for requesting accommodations?

  3. How important is professional documentation in the application?

  4. What are common missteps in applications?

  5. What chronic or sudden medical issues may warrant accommodations?
