If you have a learning disability, you may be allowed to take the SAT under special conditions. The first step is to get an Eligibility Form from your school counselor. (Homeschoolers, call the local high school.) You may also want to ask your college counseling or guidance office for a copy of the College Board Services for Students with Disabilities Brochure. If your school doesn’t have one, contact the College Board directly or check the testing agency’s website (www.collegeboard.org/students-with-disabilities).

Once you are certified for accommodations on any College Board test (an AP, an SAT Subject Test, or the PSAT/NMSQT), you’re certified for all the College Board tests, unless your need arises from something that is temporary. If you fall into that category, see the next section for more information.

File the form well in advance of the time you expect to take the test. If the College Board grants you the accommodation, you’ll be eligible for extra time on the SAT, which could mean an extra 50 percent of time for each test. So if a regular test-taker has 50 minutes to write the essay, for example, an extended-timer gets 75 minutes.
