    PSAT and SAT Accommodations

     

    Accommodations on the PSAT™ 8/9, PSAT NMSQT, and SAT must be approved by College Board using the same process as for all other College Board assessments including AP exams. Usually, the SSD coordinator will make the request; however, a student and their parent/guardian can also request accommodations directly. Visit How to Request Accommodations to learn more.

     

    If your student was previously approved for College Board accommodations through their 504 plan or IEP, you do not need to reapply.

    If your child receives accommodations through a 504 plan, IEP or ELLP (Multilingual Learners), please be sure to:

    Please encourage your student to practice taking the PSAT-related assessments with their chosen assistive technologies or devices. PSAT/NMSQT practice tests will be available in the Bluebook™ digital testing app at the end of June, and PSAT 8/9 practice tests will be available at the end of August. Students should plan to devote some time to becoming familiar and comfortable with taking the test with their approved assistive technologies.

    Students with a College Board–approved accommodation for extended time, extra breaks, or assistive technology will be able to try out their accommodation in the full-length adaptive practice test. They’ll have to select their accommodation for practice, but it will be applied to their exam automatically. Remember, accommodations on the digital PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 8/9 may be different from accommodations on the paper and pencil test. To learn more, visit Using Accommodations on Digital Tests.All digital PSAT-related assessments are fully accessible, and student Chromebooks will work during the test. For more information about how accommodations will be provided for the digital PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 8/9, please visit our Assistive Technology webpage.For more information about accommodations, visit the SSD website. For questions, contact Dr. Stacey Schepens, Dacula HS Assistant Principal, at stacey.schepens@gcpsk12.org or 770-822-6484. As always, we’re grateful for the work you continue to do to support your child at Dacula High School.Sincerely,
    Dr. Stacey Schepens
