Standardized Testing with Accommodations

Students who receive testing accommodations at Staples through an IEP or 504 plan may request accommodations on College Board exams (PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP) and the ACT. It is the College Board and/or ACT that decides whether or not a student qualifies for accommodations on these tests, not Staples High School. If you have any questions about eligibility decisions, please contact either College Board Services for Students with Disabilities or ACT Services for Students with Disabilities.
