Did you know ADHD students get special treatment for the ACT and SAT?

Apparently this isn't new but I just heard about it recently. You have to apply for special accommodations which can include extra time, taking only one section at a time spread out over a few weeks, etc. Also, colleges and universities don't know if you received special accommodations or not.

ADA also allows for accommodations on board exams for doctors and other professions.

So, they get more time to take the test, better conditions, and performance enhancing drugs to boot? What a country. I believe this board's very own hammertime gets special treatment because someone sneezing or looking at him funny will make him melt down.

This is nothing new. You get special treatment on college tests also

They also get more time on law school exams, even if they are on medication to correct their symptoms.

Did you know that kids with real ADHD actually need special treatment to complete the ACT and SAT?

Did you also know their parents get paid a disability check each month if they've filled out the right paperwork?

I'd say supplement memantine with the amphetamines or your memory will be kinda hazy around 35

Only performance enhancing if you don't have ADHD.

If you are on medication why do you need accommodations?
Posted on 4/20/17 at 12:42 pm to The Mick

Bmath you are correct. When we sit for our different registries in radiology. The testing center always asks if we need special accommodations.

This is correct. I was diagnosed in 92 and this was always an option available but the catch at my school was that you had to go sit with the tards and take your test with them. I decided to just fill in bubbles faster. It's worked out ok!

Yep. I got double time with breaks. Suck it
