Fill the packet and the backward calendar here. Eligibility is about functional impact and classroom use, not the diagnosis name alone. Documentation recency depends on the disability and the test provider. Choosing SAT vs ACT is a different page. This tracker is paperwork and dates.
What I am requesting
- Other (must match classroom use):
Documentation assembled
- Evaluation date (check this provider's recency rule for this disability):
- Recency note I checked (College Board often allows learning-disorder evals up to five years; some medical letters only one or two years; ACT may accept a valid current IEP/504):
Coordinator and portals
SAT uses College Board SSD Online. College Board usually recommends the school SSD coordinator, but a family can request without going through the school. ACT uses the Test Accessibility and Accommodations System (TAA). A school official submits the TAA request after the student registers. SAT approvals can reuse later SAT/PSAT dates if nothing changed. Previously approved ACT accommodations can be used on later dates until they expire; you do not start a brand-new request each time.

Backward calendar
Starting with the June 2026 ACT event, national accommodations requests and appeals are due by the regular registration deadline for the selected test date. Confirm the current deadline on ACT's TAA page before you lock a date.
| Test | Target test date | Submit-by date | Portal status |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAT (SSD Online: start 7+ weeks before) | |||
| ACT (TAA: regular registration deadline for that date) |
- Weekly portal check date:
If denied or only partly approved
Name what was missing, then resubmit.
- What I will fix before the next window:
SAT extended time is built into the Bluebook session. A separate room or some assistive tech still needs the test center. Eligibility, Eli's timeline, and appeals live in testing accommodations for SAT/ACT.
