134. Receiving Testing Accommodations
from Tests and the Rest: College Admissions Podcast · host Amy Seeley& Mike Bergin with Wendy Haynes
Taking the SAT and ACT with the proper accommodations can level the assessment playing field for students with learning disabilities and medical needs. But needing and getting accommodations are two very different things. Amy and Mike invited educator Wendy Hayes to outline the process for receiving testing accommodations. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is the best way to apply for testing accommodations? What accommodations are available? Are school counselors helpful in the application process? What is the optimal timeline for applying for accommodations? Can a denial of accommodations be appealed? MEET OUR GUESTS Wendy Hayes has over nine years of experience as a top standardized test tutor. She specializes in preparing students who have mild to severe Learning Differences and test anxiety for the ACT. She believes her ability to connect with these students (and make them highly successful on these exams) stems from the fact that she also has diagnosed LDs and high levels of test anxiety.
