Accommodations are special arrangements or reasonable adjustments provided for individuals with documented needs. These needs must typically be verified by a psychologist or doctor through psychological, educational, or medical testing.
Examples of accommodations include:
- Extra testing time
- A separate testing room
- Scheduled breaks during the exam
Pearson VUE reviews and manages all accommodation requests. For more details, visit Pearson VUE's Accommodations Page.
