How do I order tests for students who need English learner (EL) supports?

To better serve students, College Board offers testing supports for English learners (EL) during SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9. Testing supports include:

  • Translated test directions.
  • Use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries.
  • Time and one-half (+50%).

If a student is utilizing time and one-half, SSD coordinators must go to SSD Online's EL Supports tool to request extended time. Schools don't need to submit documentation, but the use of supports should be based on the student's documented need. The deadline to request extended time for English learners is the same as the deadline to order standard and accommodated test books.
