ACT/SAT

If your child would like to take the ACT with accommodations please note the following:

ACT now requires a full education evaluation (within the last 3 years) OR a physician's statement for any medical conditions (including ADHD) within one year.

ACT requires a current Individual Accommodation Plan

ACT may require proof of utilization of services, which is documented each time a student uses extended time testing at STM. ACT may deny your child accommodations based upon non-use of services. We recommend that your child use extended time testing a minimum of 2 times per month to provide documentation.

Any student wishing to take the ACT with accommodations must have a current signed consent form on file with the Academic Support Department. You may access that document below.
