Abstract

Extended time accommodations (ETA) are given to students with disabilities (SWD) with an intent to remove barriers to testing and obtain test scores that better represent students’ achievement. However, it is unclear whether ETA serve this intended purpose. One way to study if ETA serve this purpose is to explore whether students engaged in the same processes during testing. In the current study, we explore rates of item review among SWD who were deemed eligible for ETA and compare those with rates of item review among students without disabilities. We also investigated the relationship between item review and test scores.
