SAT is becoming mandatory again and the number of kids diagnosed with ADHD, which allows for extra time to take the SAT, is skyrocketing especially among the fancy East Coast private school students
SAT and Fake ADHD Diagnoses

I'm torn on this. I'm not sure these tests should have a time limit in the first place, other than reasonable expectations. If a kid wants to sit and take eight hours, then let them. Is it about how much they know, or how quickly they can show it? I know time management is a skill to have, but there needs to be some kind of balance, IMO.
On the other side, this only hutys kids who actually do need time extensions. Doctors who *wink wink, nudge nudge* "diagnose" ADHD should be called on the carpet about it.
I don't know much about Ivy League admissions, but hopefully these tests aren't as important of a measure as they used to be.
