DS's private psychologist suggests I request extra time of the SAT's for him. She said that all the prep in the world isn't going to speed up his slower processing speed. The college board web site implies that it's difficult to get extra time from them if he hasn't already been using this accommodation. I am going to try since we should be able to get extra time at least for the essay writing portion of the SAT. I need to get started on this because the plan is for him to take the SAT Subject Math II test in June.
But I admit I feel a bit guilty about doing this. It feels like cheating?
You did not shop around for a private psychologist who said your son needed an accommodation. Going through established procedures to request extra time is not something to feel guilty about.
