Hey, all. I’m asking on behalf of a dyslexic hs junior. Of the two, which test do you think poses the least issues for someone with dyslexia: the ACT or the SAT? I’m not sure what kind of accommodations he may be granted or how successful that process will be.

Also, if he has trouble retaining information especially short-term, should prep last over the span of a few months or just a few weeks? Not sure if a longer period will be beneficial, but I’d love to hear opinions or any tips for test prep for a dyslexic student. Thanks!
