12th Grade
Students may need specific accommodations to successfully complete the SAT or ACT. Both college entrance exams are administered annually to millions of students around the world. Fortunately, both exams provide test accommodations, such as extended time or reading and seeing accommodations, to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
Based on a student's SAT/ACT scores, colleges and universities may require students to take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA). The TSIA is designed to help a student's college or university determine whether the student is ready for college-level coursework in reading, writing, and mathematics. Students can request testing accommodations by contacting the disabilities services office at the college or university. Then the college or university usually requests documentation from the student to verify the need for accommodations. Each college or university may have its own procedures to request testing accommodations. As a result, students and families who need to request accommodations should always verify the specific procedures with the college or university they plan to attend. TSIA Testing Accommodations
