Psychological Testing · Test Accommodations

Test accommodations, so your score reflects what you know.

If ADHD, autism or a learning disorder makes standardized tests harder, you may qualify for accommodations such as extended time, extra breaks or a different setting. Testing organizations ask for documentation, and that's where we come in.

Our licensed psychologists provide thorough evaluations and clear reports for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, LSAT and other exams.

When an evaluation can help

Testing organizations want clear, current documentation. An evaluation may help if:

  • You have a diagnosis

    Such as ADHD, autism or a specific learning disorder, and need accommodations on an exam.

  • Your documentation is out of date

    An updated assessment is usually less extensive, and costs less, than a full one.

  • You've never been assessed

    But tests have always taken longer, or felt harder, than they should.

  • A big exam is coming up

    Leave time for testing, the report and the testing organization's own review.

  • You're not sure what to ask for

    We'll recommend accommodations that fit your needs, such as extended time or breaks.

  • You need a thorough report

    With the diagnosis, your history, current limitations and recommended accommodations.

How it works

From your first call to a report you can submit.

  1. A free phone callTell us which exam you're taking and what documentation you already have.
  2. Records reviewWe look at past evaluations and school records, if you have them.
  3. TestingAn interview plus cognitive and achievement testing, usually over 2 to 3 sessions.
  4. FeedbackWe go over the results and any diagnosis with you, and answer your questions.
  5. Your reportDiagnosis, history, current limitations and recommended accommodations, as supporting documentation for your request.

Questions about test accommodations

Something else on your mind? Our FAQ covers much more, and our care team is always happy to talk it through.

Which exams can this help with?

Standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT and LSAT. Each testing organization sets its own documentation rules, so it's worth checking their requirements before you apply.

I was diagnosed years ago. Do I need a full assessment?

Not always. If your diagnosis is established but your documentation is out of date, an updated assessment is usually less extensive. If you don't have a diagnosis yet, you'll need a comprehensive assessment.

How much does it cost?

Usually $3,000 to $5,500, depending on whether you have a prior diagnosis and what the testing organization requires. We'll give you a quote after your free phone call.

Will I be approved for accommodations?

That decision belongs to the testing organization. We can't guarantee a diagnosis or eligibility, and you'll manage your own application, but we'll give you a thorough, clear report to support your request.

How soon will the report be ready?

Usually within 2 weeks of your final testing session. If your deadline is close, ask about a faster turnaround, and we'll do our best to help.

Can testing be done in Mandarin?

The tests must be given in English. Our Mandarin-speaking clinicians can explain how the appointment works and help you feel at ease, but the tests aren't translated.

Ready when you are.

Reach out for a free phone consultation. We'll answer your questions and help you choose the right assessment, and we can usually schedule within one month.
