Hello! I have a very quick question. If one has extra time on the SAT, will the academies still accept the score?
The reason doesn't matter, they won't accept the scores.What is the reason for the "extra time?"
Ok thanks for the information.The reason doesn't matter, they won't accept the scores.
This is from the Air Force Academy admissions website: "Test scores must be achieved under national testing conditions on a national test date. We do not accept nonstandard (extended time), or special scores"."
I think the original poster is a candidate, not sure if the extra time is related to his football injury, but I think Frenzy is right, it won't be accepted.One additional piece of info for the parent who posted the original question.
Thanks for the confirmation on that. Someone i know at school has extra time and it made me curious about the application process.One additional piece of info for the parent who posted the original question. If your student has extra time on the SAT because they have a qualifying learning disability, IEP, etc. that allowed them to apply for extra time -- you will want to become familiar with the rules concerning disqualifying conditions which can affect a student's ability to be considered for admission before your child gets too far into the application process. My point is that even if your child does not take advantage of the extra time (takes the test under regular conditions) their recorded IEP, learning disability, etc. may prevent them from being accepted. My daughter graduated from the USAF Academy -- her younger brother was not able to apply because of disqualifying documented learning disabilities with IEP in high school (which we knew was a disqualifying condition but not all students/parents/guidance counselors realize that when beginning the process).
I don't have extra time. Someone i know does have it though. I was curious about how that would affect the application process. He's looking into the naval academy. My football injury hasn't hurt me mentally. Im still able to do well in school.I think the original poster is a candidate, not sure if the extra time is related to his football injury, but I think Frenzy is right, it won't be accepted.
I dont have extra time. Someone i know does though. I had an argument with him about this. The people who replied to this thread confirmed my side of the argument.When that enemy aircraft is approaching at 800 mph, just radio him and ask for a little extra time to figure out your response to the attack.
I did tell him. Now he believes me and wants to get rid of the extra time now. I didnt take offense. I was just reiterating that i didnt have it.Relax Delta... we are just discussing the finer points of why this rule is in place. Perhaps you can give your friend Maplerock's explanation.
