Services for Students with Disabilities
If you have a documented disability, you may be eligible for accommodations on the AP Exams. Some examples include: extended time; Braille; large-type exams; large-block answer sheets; permission to use a Braille device, computer, or magnifying device; a reader to dictate questions; a writer to record responses; a written copy of oral instructions; as well as other accommodations.
All accommodations must be approved by the College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). To request accommodations, speak to your school's SSD Coordinator, or visit Services for Students with Disabilities. If you have previously been approved by the College Board for testing accommodations (for example, when you took the AP, PSAT/NMSQT® or SAT®), you do not need to submit a new request. If you transferred schools after being approved for testing accommodations, notify the SSD Coordinator at your new school of the prior approval. If you need different accommodations, your school's SSD Coordinator may submit an Accommodations Change Form for you.

Schools cannot provide testing accommodations for students with disabilities unless the accommodations have been approved by the College. Scores for students who test with accommodations that have not been preapproved by the College Board will not be reported.
For more information, contact your school's SSD Coordinator, or the College Board's SSD office. Photoenlarged copies of the Bulletin for AP Students and Parents are available from AP Services at (888) 225-5427.
