11+ extra time
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:57 pm
Hi
Wondering if anyone has advice re using extra time / break . We have applied for extra time / break for my DS because he has problems with visual tracking (eye stamina) and has Asperger's. I think he will be awarded a 10 min break 1/2 way through test which is 50 mins VR paper, he has been practicing with no break and seems to be doing ok on most papers. His tutor and school are saying they think he will be fine without using this break and he doesn't really want to as it will single him out as he will have to be tested separately.
I am not sure of the implications of not using anything awarded especially if we have to go to an appeal!
Any thoughts or experiences would be great.
Thanks
