Know Your Dates and Deadlines
Submit Requests Early
Because the approval process can take up to seven weeks, it’s best to start well before the test date. Keep in mind:
- It is usually easier and more efficient to work through the school.
- SSD cannot review the request until all required documentation is received.
- If additional documentation is required—or if a request is resubmitted—approval can take an additional seven weeks.
- If you miss a deadline, accommodations might not be approved or in place on test day.

FAQ
If I missed the deadline for an accommodations request, what can I do?
Submit the request as soon as possible. Approved accommodations may not be available on test day if approved less than 14 days prior to test day or if the request is received after the published SSD deadlines. If the request is not decided in time for the test you are taking, you may use any approved accommodations for future College Board tests including PSAT-related assessments, the SAT, and AP Exams.
