We just spoke with the school about accomodations for the SAT last week. I was pushing for extended time when the school explained that would mean he would be in a room for the full 6 hours which is the extended time period given. They stated the kids cannot leave even if they are done in 3/4 hours. My S gets anxiety worrying about being timed but usually doesn’t need extra time (just the not knowing he doesn’t have a time limit is helpful). The school then said what about extra breaks instead of extra time. It seemed to be the solution for my S. I will find out more.
