I am dyslexic and struggle with standardized tests. I have had extended time on all tests my entire academic career including SAT/GRE (with a reader) as well as when I took my boards for counseling with NCE. I applied for accommodations w/ ASWB with all my standardized tests. ASWB determined that my recent tests indicated I was within normal range and therefore do not qualify for extended time. FURIOUS. I advocated for myself to no avail. I was modified. I appealed with all my documents from elementary school including my 504s. Scared I knew I had persevere. I used TDC, went through two times, made visual aids and passed with a score of 118. I am grateful for TDC. I truly do not believe I could have done it without. This study approach pulls on all the various learning inputs I need to really let info sink in. I THANK YOU for offering this study method.
