We provide specialized psychoeducational assessments that help individuals qualify for accommodations on standardized graduate admissions exams, such as the GMAT, GRE, LSAT and MCAT.

If you have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Learning and Cognitive Disorders, or certain Psychological Disabilities that can affect your ability to perform on these types of standardized entrance exams, you may qualify for a variety of accommodations available for test takers with disabilities. The most common accommodations include:

Additional testing time: 50 percent (time and one-half) or 100 percent (double time)
Additional rest breaks or extended rest breaks, which can be used for medication, snacks, trips to the restroom, etc.
A reader who can read items to you
A recorder who can record your responses
JAWS software or Zoom Text

Each exam has their own list of available accommodations, but almost all require test-takers to follow a set of accommodation request procedures. These procedures typically include having a professional, such as a clinical psychologist or educational psychologist, conduct an updated assessment of current functioning. The evaluation must provide a clear DSM or ICD-10 diagnosis and a detailed description of how the reported symptoms affect the test taker’s ability to function in academic, occupation and social settings.
