Question
Will I receive the same exam accommodations I received in high school?
Answer
It depends. Often high schools provide students with modification rather than accommodations on exams.
Modifications at the high school level are often changes to the curriculum – allowing multiple choice instead of essay exams; allowing fewer questions to be answered on an exam; not having to read all the books for a literature class; etc. Modifications are not provided at the college level.
Accommodations do not change the curriculum or format of exams. Accommodations are provided to ensure access to the class content and provide the opportunity to show you have mastered the class content.
