Practice timer
Time one module at your timing. It tells a screen reader as the module nears its end.
How do I get it?
Your school's SSD coordinator requests it through SSD Online, after a parent signs consent (the student, if 18 or older). College Board can take up to 7 weeks to decide.
When should I ask?
Early. For the Mar 6, 2027 SAT, the request must reach College Board by Jan 15, 2027. Every date's deadline.
Who qualifies?
College Board decides, from your school's documentation. We can't advise on eligibility: read College Board's accommodations pages. The free report can be taken at 1.5x or 2x time too, from Nov 12, 2026.
