Special Accommodations

Applicants who require special accommodations on the day of examination must request such exceptions in writing and it must be included with the initial application. Physical disability must be currently documented by a medical doctor. If you are requesting special accommodations because of a learning disability, documentation must be provided from a qualified professional dated within the last year.

We will make every effort to accommodate such cases, but we reserve the right to deny requests that would jeopardize the security of the examination materials or the integrity of scores derived from the examination. If you have questions regarding special accommodations, please call the office.
