Read the first 7 Accessibility and Accommodations flashcards as text

  1. A CBT platform must be compatible with JAWS and NVDA screen readers. Which HTML attribute is most critical for making exam questions accessible?

    Answer: aria-label

    The aria-label attribute provides descriptive labels that screen readers announce, making interface elements meaningful to visually impaired users.

  2. A testing company allows candidates with physical disabilities to use their personal ergonomic keyboard. Which security measure is MOST critical to implement?

    Answer: Inspect the device for built-in storage or communication capabilities before the exam

    Devices must be inspected for unauthorized storage or wireless capability to prevent cheating while still honoring the accommodation.

  3. Which of the following best describes a 'fundamental alteration' that would allow a testing organization to deny an accommodation request?

    Answer: The accommodation would change what the exam is designed to measure

    A fundamental alteration occurs when the accommodation changes the core skills or knowledge the exam is intended to assess, providing legal grounds for denial.

  4. A candidate who is deaf requests a sign language interpreter for oral instructions during a CBT exam. This accommodation is BEST described as:

    Answer: A reasonable accommodation for a communication barrier unrelated to the tested content

    Providing an interpreter for oral administrative instructions is a reasonable accommodation that ensures the deaf candidate receives equivalent information.

  5. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act primarily governs accessibility requirements for:

    Answer: Federal agency electronic and information technology

    Section 508 specifically mandates that federal agencies' electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities.

  6. A test-taker with low vision requests a font size increase on a CBT platform. The BEST implementation approach is to:

    Answer: Build zoom and text-resize functionality natively into the CBT interface

    Native text-resize functionality within the CBT platform ensures all exam content scales properly without layout breaks or loss of information.

  7. When must a CBT testing organization inform a candidate of an accommodation decision?

    Answer: With enough advance notice for the candidate to prepare or appeal

    Candidates must receive accommodation decisions well in advance so they can prepare assistive tools, appeal if necessary, or make alternative arrangements.
