Candidates with special needs may receive formally prescribed testing accommodations provided that the accommodations fit the scope of the online exam and do not compromise assessment security. The accommodations must be documented through the test site through Individual Education Plans (IEPs) or other similar, valid documentation. When the test site submits the Test Site Approval Agreement, the Test Site Administrator is signing and indicating that they will abide by any documented modifications/accommodations. Thus, the test site administrator is taking responsibility for ensuring that those modifications are provided and do fit within the testing parameters.
A list of commonly used accommodations/modifications and their use on the AAFCS Pre-PAC assessments are outlined in the chart below.
Accommodation/Modification |
Acceptable (Fits within Scope of Exam) |
Not Acceptable (Does not fit within scope of exam) |

Pre-PAC assessments are NOT timed; therefore, additional time requested is not a problem. Network security should be set to allow an "open" and inactive internet connection for the test duration. The assessment must be completed in one session.
