For ADA accommodations, what is the maximum extended testing time allowed?

• A. Up to 75 percent longer.
• B. Up to 50 percent longer.
• C. Up to 100 percent longer.
• D. There is no extra time.

Answer: (B)

ADA accommodations allow extended testing time to level the playing field, but the maximum extension is up to 50 percent longer than the standard time. This means the time allotted increases by half (a 1.5x total), such as from four hours to six hours in a typical session. Extensions of 75 percent or 100 percent go beyond standard policies, and there is indeed extra time provided to eligible examinees.
