Accomodations for the GMAT

by sage055 » Thu Jul 08, 2010 5:55 pm
How hard is it to get accomodations on the GMAT exam? Some of this information they want, I do not believe I can get it on time. And I do not think I could get my doctor to write a book report for me.

For those of you who got accomodations for ADHD, what did you typicaly submit?

I've actually never heard of anyone getting preferential treatment for ADHD on the GMAT... i may be mistaken though.. i just haven't heard of any instances...
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Hey guys,

Accommodations for examinees with disabilities (including ADHD) do exist. GMAC's official word on the topic, complete with contact information and instructions, can be found here: https://www.mba.com/mba/thegmat/schedule ... lities.htm

From what I've heard, the GMAT is quite a bit more strict on the topic than are most colleges, etc., in that it will require thorough medical documentation and make its analysis on the basis of that.

Best of luck!
