Your school puts in the application, but it is your (or your parents’) obligation to ask them to do this in a timely manner ahead of the tests. In fact, if you look at the form on the ACT website, you can see that you/your parents fill out the first six sections of the form and sign it, then give it to your school to do the rest. It isn’t something that automatically is done by schools just because you have an IEP or get extra time for a learning disability. Then if you are granted the extra time, bring your documentation from the ACT or College Board on the day of testing. You really can’t blame the school, you are the one registering for the tests and you need to own making sure the applications for accomodations are in process. You can try applying now and retaking the test if you get the extra time. You probably should also apply for extra time on the SAT and try that instead if you don’t get granted the ACT time.
