Based on the classroom duration of any given test/exam/quiz, there is a mathematical formula that can be used to calculate the accommodated time for an SAS student whose extra time is identified on the Confidential Accommodation Form:
SAT = CD x (1 + ET/60)
SAT is the Student's Accommodated Time that needs to be calculated (in minutes initially).
CD is the Classroom Duration (in minutes)
ET/60 is the student's extra time noted in additional minutes per hour.
In many cases, the calculation of extra time for a student's test/exam/quiz will not require the use of a calculator. For example, if a student had the extra time accommodation of 30 additional minutes per hour, then the student's accommodated time for a 3 hour exam would be:
3 hrs. + (3 x 30 min. for each hour) = 3 hrs. + 90 min. = 4 hrs. + 30 min.
