The proctor of your SAT exam

The SAT may not be a standardized test, as proctors -- far from standard -- can make a difference in students' scores. And even a difference of 20 to 30 points can affect whether a student gets into a school or gets a scholarship.

WHEN Jordan Reeves took the SAT last January, her eyes kept drifting to the front of the room, where her proctor was assembling bouquets of flowers. The proctor carried on several lively conversations on the classroom phone while snipping stems, Ms. Reeves says. She then arranged pebbles at the bottom of a half-dozen vases, planted the flowers, and lined the finished bouquets in a row on her desk. The process took her the entire length of the exam.

SAT and disabled students

My child is disabled? How do I know if he is eligible for accommodations to take the SAT?

From College Board...

Eligibility

What are the College Board's eligibility requirements?

If you have a documented disability you may be eligible for accommodations on College Board tests (i.e., SAT, SAT Subject Tests, AP, PSAT). If you are seeking accommodations on a College Board test, you must complete a Student Eligibility Form.

To be eligible, you must:

1. have a disability that necessitates testing accommodations,
2. have documentation on file at your school that supports the need for requested accommodations and meets the Guidelines for Documentation, and
3. receive and use the requested accommodations, due to the disability, for school-based tests.

If any of these requirements are not met, you may still be eligible. You may send your disability documentation with the Student Eligibility Form to the College Board for review and determination. The disability documentation must adhere to the Guidelines for Documentation on page 1 of the Instructions.

What disabilities make you eligible for accommodations?

There are many disabilities that impact a student's academic functioning. Here are a few:

• Blindness/Vision Impairment
• AD/HD (formerly known as A.D.D. /A.D.H.D.)
• Learning Disabilities
• Deafness/Hearing Impairment
• Certain Medical Conditions
• Certain Physical Disabilities
• Certain Psychiatric Conditions
