Admission-exam accommodations
Graduate and professional admission exams can provide accommodations such as extra time for candidates with ADHD or a learning disability. Each testing body sets its own documentation rules. A current assessment, prepared to the right standard, supports your request.
What this service provides
This service provides documentation for testing accommodations, based on the results of a full adult psychoeducational assessment, that meets the documentation requirements of the major admission tests, including the GMAT, GRE, LSAT and MCAT. The report documents your diagnosis, your current functional limitations under timed conditions and the accommodations recommended, and it can include any professional form the testing body requires.
Who it's for
Applicants to graduate and professional programs who have, or suspect they have, ADHD or a learning disability and who need testing accommodations such as extra time, breaks or a separate room.
Important about timing and recency
Each testing body sets its own recency limit and content rules, and approval must be obtained before you schedule the exam. As a general guide, based on each body's published requirements:
- MCAT (AAMC): evaluation generally no more than three years old for a learning disability or ADHD, and no more than six months for a psychiatric condition; older documentation may be accepted with an update letter.
- GMAT (GMAC): documentation for ADHD or a learning disorder is generally expected to be recent; confirm the current cutoff on the official accommodations page when you apply.
- LSAT (LSAC): documentation generally from within the past five years, or from any time after age thirteen, with evidence of current functional limitation; a Qualified Professional Form is part of the package.
- GRE (ETS): no single fixed cutoff, but documentation must reflect current functioning and meet ETS content criteria.
Because these rules change, please confirm the current requirement with the testing body before applying.
