This is awesome. How binding is it?

Previously the college board was quoted as saying that it's not their job to show the student's abilities, but instead to provide access to the test. So, if they couldn't do the test without typing, they would approve typing, but if you couldn't do your BEST, then tough. Their job wasn't to help you do your best. (on my appeal response-- and it seemed rather boilerplatish).

Inexpert opinion: I have a feeling the question of how closely private testing entities will have to adhere to this will be tested in the courts over the next few years.
