Jim,

One thing that was pointed out to us about SAT, etc. accomodations (our

son is ADD and is eligible for them) is that when the scores are reported, it

is also reported that there were accomodations given. Many colleges then ask

for or expect an explanation. Apparently, many families in the Northeast

have solicited bogus dz for their kids so that they can get extra time on the

SAT's to boast their scores. It has become so widespread in some parts of

the country that the college admisions folks are getting a little jaded about

kids who have accomodations. While they legally can't ask too many invasive

questions, for our kids who legitimately need the accomodations, it may be

helpful to advise the college why the accomodations were made and back up

that info with respectable medical and psychological info.

Hope this is helpful!

Thanks Gail

With 's struggle on the PSAT, even with an extra hour this

year, he performed at about the same level as last year.

Sounds like a 'lose' - 'lose' situation if he still is unable to use

the accomodations wisely/usefully.
