Students who are provided the Scheduled Extended Time accommodation may
not begin the test administration sooner than the school’s schedule for the regular

Multiple Testing Sessions must begin on the same day as the general test
administration but may continue beyond the school’s schedule for the regular test
administration if the IEP or Section 504 Plan designates the sessions are to
stretch across multiple days.
Testing grade levels in two subjects (e.g., Mathematics and Science) on the
same day is prohibited in our school system.
Students at different grade levels cannot be administered tests in the same
