Accommodations
The vast majority of accommodations are handled in the Bluebook environment.
Students with extended time receive extended time in the Bluebook app’s timer. Students will not be able to end a section early to move to the next one.
If a student needs different accommodations for the digital test than for the paper test, the SSD coordinator can modify the requested accommodations in the College Board system.
For any accommodations that cannot be handled within the digital testing environment, a longer paper-based version is available. The current guidelines for what accommodations qualify for paper testing (or not) can be found here.
English-learners receive accommodations during School Day SAT Administrations (only) including translated test directions, use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries, and time and a half (+50%) extended time. To qualify for these accommodations, students must be designated by their school as an English learner and receive the same accommodations at school.
Accommodations for any of the tests (PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, or SAT) must be requested and approved by the College Board.
