San Diego State University: Disabled Student Services: Test Taking

Test taking for finals and for regular course tests helped me to do my best. I did this for every test possible.

I recieved time and a half to take tests. Meaning; if a test was 1 hour long; I got 1.5 hours to take the test.

Finals were two hours long. Therefore; I got four hours to take my finals. A few times throughout four years; I did take the full four hours. 

Sometimes my tests were at different times; not at class time due to the hours I needed or other requirements.

I took tests in a seperate room monitored by a proctor. The proctor was outside my room for test and watched me take the tests.

Finals; I sometimes was in a room with several other students taking their tests too. The demand for assistance to take tests was higher.

Process:

I order to have this opportunity-I had a folder for my tests and forms that my professors had to fill out and agree to let me take the test in a seperate monitored room. This had to be set-up one week prior to taking the test.

I went to the Disabled Student Services office to sign in for tests and then the procotor would go get my test from the professor.

I would get set-up and start the test.

I ended the test and the proctor took my test and sent it to the professor/department/teacher assistant to grade my paper.

Time to get my grade back:

Sometimes; I would get my grade back at the same times as though that took it in class. Other times; I did not and recieved it a few days later. 

The blackboard program helped me to get my test grades back a lot faster. The program was implemented my junior year of college.
