Assistive Technology
Students who require assistive technology must request each device or software separately. Once approved, this technology can be used during College Board testing.
See Accommodations and Assistive Technology for information. This link also has additional information for individuals requesting a screen reader, text-to-speech or dictation software.
Beginning in Spring 2025, the Bluebook testing application will include an embedded text to speech tool for students who require reading assistance as an accommodation. See SSD Updates for more information.
Important: Try a digital practice test on Bluebook with your assistive technology to make sure there are no issues on test day.
