Extended Time for High Stakes Testing

Getting Extra Time for Tests that Matter

High-Stakes Testing means that the test you are about to take may make a great deal of difference for the rest of your life. Usually this is a test which will qualify you to get into an excellent law school, a top-flight medical school, pass the Bar Exam of your state, or get into an Ivy League university. Passing such a test may give you a license to practice in a profession in which you have been training for many years. Sometimes the person taking this kind of test is learning disabled and needs extra time in order to score high enough to get into the institution they deserve.

Note that a person can be both learning disabled and very smart; being a slow thinker is nothing to be ashamed about. Even Albert Einstein sometimes referred to himself as a slow thinker!
