<p>i am registered to take the ACT on feb. 9 and i also sent in an extended time application since i have dysgraphia. They already granted me the use of a computer on the essay part, but denied me for the extended time. I already got approved for extended time on the SAT. I got a letter back today from the ACT company saying that I had to have been evaluated within the past year!!! There was nothing mentioned about that when i was reading the instructions for filling out the extended time form. The problem is that I dont want to get re-evaluated again because i’m joining the marines after high school and they will not accept me if they see that I have dysgraphia. I was wondering if I should just push the test date back or just get out of ACT testing since I am already taking the SAT. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>Well I would suggest that you go get evaluated for it so you can take the ACT with additional time. Also you have to realize that the Marine Corps is not for you. Depending on the severity of your dysgraphia, you put the others around you at risk if you were in a combat zone because it might affect your ability to communicate with others around you.</p>
<p>If you’re joining the marines after HS why are you bothering with the ACT?</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be a good idea to mislead the Marine Corp about anything. I have never heard about having to be evaluated within the past year, generally an IEP is good for 3 years. If you don’t want to be re-evaluated, then just take the SAT. Your reason for not wanting to be re-evaluated, however, is what you need to reconsider.</p>
<p>Isn’t it fraud to join a military branch without disclosing such a severity? I don’t know, but if they would find out later would you be dishonorably discharged?</p>
