Affluent parents are getting their kids extra time on the SATs and ACTs by paying for a disability diagnosis, writes Doree Lewak in the New York Post.
Such accommodations, meant to level the playing field for students with disabilities, have more than doubled since 2003, when testing services stopped telling colleges who gets extra time.
“To get extra time, parents can pay thousands of dollars to have their child evaluated for a learning disorder by a private neuropsychology evaluator, typically a psychologist of some sort,” writes Lombardo.
