Read the first 7 Accessibility and Accommodations flashcards as text

  1. A candidate with an upper limb disability requests use of voice recognition software (e.g., Dragon NaturallySpeaking) for a CBT exam. The test center's FIRST step should be to:

    Answer: Verify the software's compatibility with the CBT platform and arrange technical testing in advance

    Advance compatibility testing ensures the voice recognition software works with the CBT platform without security or technical failures on exam day.

  2. An appeals process for denied accommodation requests is required primarily to ensure:

    Answer: Candidates have due process and a fair opportunity to provide additional supporting evidence

    An appeals process provides procedural fairness by allowing candidates to submit additional documentation or correct errors in the initial review.

  3. Which scenario represents an UNJUSTIFIED denial of a CBT accommodation?

    Answer: Denying extended time solely because the testing organization finds it administratively inconvenient

    Administrative inconvenience is not a legally recognized basis for denying a reasonable accommodation under the ADA.

  4. A CBT exam includes timed simulation tasks. A candidate with a motor disability receives 50% extended time. How should the extended time apply to the timed simulation segments?

    Answer: Proportionally to simulation tasks as well, unless doing so fundamentally alters the simulation construct

    Extended time should apply proportionally to all timed exam components unless extending time on a specific task would change what the task is designed to measure.

  5. Confidentiality of a candidate's accommodation records requires that this information be:

    Answer: Disclosed to proctors only on a need-to-know basis without revealing the underlying diagnosis

    Proctors may know which accommodations to implement but should not receive medical diagnoses; disability information must be handled with strict confidentiality.

  6. A testing organization allows candidates to flag CBT questions for review. For a blind candidate using a screen reader, which additional accessibility feature is MOST important for this functionality?

    Answer: A keyboard-accessible and screen-reader-announced flag mechanism with status feedback

    Keyboard accessibility combined with screen reader announcements (ARIA live regions) ensures the blind candidate can independently flag and confirm flag status.

  7. What is the term for designing tests so that accommodations are unnecessary for most candidates because accessibility is built into the standard exam experience?

    Answer: Universal Design

    Universal Design creates exams that are inherently accessible to the broadest range of candidates, reducing the need for individual accommodations.
