They only did that for show. Because congress had been getting after them about having ridiculous requirements and being worried about test integrity (which is a valid concern!). They lost and instead of just giving access, they now have to provide testing that shows a student’s abilities. So they are pretending to comply, but at the same time, they did not update their website for the counselors to allow them this streamlined submission, and they say they will ask for documentation if needed, but they don’t ask for the IEP or 504 before denying. So, then students have to file an appeal which is all the same documentation you originally needed. Has anybody on here gotten accommodations from the college board in the past year without extensive documentation? Please post. So far, I know of nobody and am curious.
