<p>Did anyone have experience that it’s harder to get extended time for ACT? Please share your experience.</p>
<p>Yes, it is much harder getting extended time on the ACT versus the SAT. This is namely because, compared to the SAT, the ACT asks much more straightforward questions (though I’m sure this statement will spark some sort of controversy), but with less time to do them. The major turnoff for students about the ACT (aside from the science) is the time factor. Therefore, having extended time gives you an enormous leg up. </p>
<p>I am an extra time ACT student, and my experience has been that the College Board’s process is somewhat flawed and corrupt in giving students extra time – friends of mine who should not qualify for extra time whatsoever end up getting it on the SAT! In order to attain extra time on the ACT, though, one must have a comprehensive learning profile that outlines, in detail, the student’s needs and the reasoning behind those needs. It makes sense to me, though some think the ACT is too strict about it.</p>
