Having been diagnosed with an impairment or disability does not automatically mean that you will qualify for an accommodation. Each case is carefully reviewed by individuals who have expertise in the area in which you indicate you have impairment.  \nAre there some kinds of accommodations that don’t require formal approval in advance?  \nYes. The Personal Items and Minor Modifications link includes a list of personal items and minor modifications that do not need formal pre-approval.  \nI have a medical condition that necessitates that I bring something into the testing room with me. Do I need to formally request accommodations?  \nUsually not. If you have a medical condition and you believe you need to bring an item into the testing room with you, check the Personal Items and Minor Modifications list under Additional Resources on our website.  \nHowever, if your condition requires you to bring something that is not on the Personal Items and Minor Modification list, you will need to request an accommodation. Your documentation should consist of a detailed letter from your physician, on letterhead, that explains your condition and the rationale for your requested accommodation. You are advised to submit your documentation well in advance, so that if we need additional clarification, there will be ample time.  \nWhen do I need to submit my request for accommodations?  \nApply as far in advance of your preferred test date as possible. It is in your best interest to request accommodations well in advance of your preferred test date, so that if your application for accommodations is incomplete or insufficient, you will have time to provide us with more  \ndocumentation.  \nHow long will it take for my request to be reviewed?  \nMost accommodations requests can be processed within 30 days. However, if your situation is unusually complex, or if your documentation is not complete, it may take longer.  \nIf I am approved for accommodations, how long do I have to take the GED® TEST with those accommodations?  \nAccommodations approvals are automatically valid for 1 year from the date of approval. At any time after that, if you decide to take the GED® test with the same accommodations for which you were previously approved, and your documentation materials are still current, you have the option of requesting an extension of your accommodations approval. You can request an extension here.  \nKeep in mind that the \"Currency\" requirements and all other requirements of your documentation (detailed in the Documentation Guidelines ) still need to be met.  \nHow can I appeal my accommodations decision?  \nIf your request for accommodations was denied, and you wish to appeal our decision, complete the Appeal request here.  \nWho is qualified to be an evaluator and provide me with documentation of my disability?  \nPlease see the “Qualifications of the Evaluator” section of the Documentation Guidelines.  \nAre there certain accommodations that are always approved for some disabilities?  \nNo. Not all test-takers with disabilities are the same, even if they have the same diagnosis.
