[IPAC-List] Testing Accommodations - Time Limits

[O'Connor, Lindsey]

Hi Dennis,

Yes, this request is due to an ADA accommodation.  We do have a procedure for requesting testing accommodations.  My question, however, is related to how extra time is determined.  Is there a formula or standard others use for determining how much extra time (e.g. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, time and a half) a candidate receives that requests the accommodation.

Are they asking for time due to an ADA accommodation? If so, I usually recommend that there be an established procedure for handling all ADA accommodations and that should be a decision made by professionals in dealing with disabilities, and accommodations, and not by the examination personnel.

Hi everyone,

If you have applicants that request extra time for a written exam, what standard do you use to determine the time limit provided to candidates?

Thanks!
