So today I took my ACTs for the first time.I have an IEP I’ve gotten extended time on the PSAT’s HSPAs, NJASK, APs, as well as test in all my Academic areas. So I go to the test center and I find out that I wasn’t allowed extended time. I talked to this woman and she said it was to late to get it and that just because I have an IEP doesn’t mean I’m allowed extended time. So I take the test and pretty much bombed it because I’ve only practiced under the conditions of extra time and I only was able to get to half the questions for each section. I didn’t even bother to do the writing cause I know I did atrocious. The woman I talked gave me a number to call which I did. The ACT people said that it was the schools responsibility to apply for extra time for me, which they didn’t. So basically I got screwed over cause there is no way I can use this score and now I only have one more chance to take it which is in October. Basically what I’m trying to ask is that is failing to file for extra time anyway illegal? They’ve been telling me over the years that they can get that extra time for me. Well it came and I didn’t get it. I know the laws for IEPs are usually stricter then 504 plans. But is what they did in anyway illegal? (FYI I have ADD and an Auditory Processing Issue).
