If you have documented ADHD, then you MUST get the medical documentation and find out from both the College Board and ACT how this information gets into their system so that you have adequate time to take the tests. One of my son’s best friends has this situation and there is no way he could complete the tests without the accommodation. If you have a legitimate and documented need for the accommodation, you really need to take it to give yourself the best possible chance for a decent test score. There is also on the Common App and most of the other university apps a place to explain special circumstances. You can easy discuss your situation and this is something universities really work to accommodate. All universities have departments that support students with special needs.
