If you need more time to process information due to disability or because you are taking an exam in your non-native language, you can request it in advance and with supporting documentation.
If you use screen readers, speech-to-text software, or other accessible input devices, we can configure your exam to support them with advanced notice.
When you need someone with you while testing, such as personal care assistant, reader, or scribe, we can allow this with advanced notice and supporting documentation.
If you have sensory related needs, such as reading aloud, moving, chewing gum, snacks, noise canceling headphones, or adjusted lighting, we can allow them with advanced notice.

How the process works
Step 1: Decide on your accommodations and gather any required documentation
The accommodations you need may differ if you are testing online or in person. Accommodations require advanced notification or approval with supporting documentation before scheduling your exam.
Step 3: Get verification and register for your exam
It may take up to 10 business days for your request to be approved. After it has been approved, you will be able to call and schedule your exam over the phone.
If the exam is not available in your native language
Use the English as a Second Language form to request additional time. Extra time will only be provided if the exam is not available in your native language.
