How Do Accommodations Affect Eligibility for Blueprint's Score Guarantees?
Blueprint is committed to ensuring that all students, including those with approved accommodations, can fully benefit from our score guarantees. This article provides an overview of how accommodations are handled and their impact on eligibility for guarantees.
Overview of Guarantee Policies
Blueprint's score guarantees are designed to support students in achieving their target scores. To maintain eligibility for these guarantees, students must meet specific requirements, including completing practice exams under test-like conditions. For students with accommodations, test-like conditions are adjusted to align with their approved accommodations.
Accommodations Approval Process
To ensure your accommodations are recognized:
Submit your official accommodations approval letter (e.g., from AAMC or LSAC) to accommodations@blueprintprep.com. This letter should specify the approved accommodations, such as extended time, extra breaks, or split-day testing.
Once your documentation is verified, your Blueprint account will be updated to reflect your accommodations. This ensures that all practice exams and coursework are adjusted accordingly.
Impact of Accommodations on Guarantees
Approved accommodations do not negatively impact your eligibility for Blueprint's score guarantees. Here are some key points:
Practice exams taken with accommodations, such as extended time, extra breaks, or split-day testing, count toward the guarantee as long as they are completed under the approved conditions.
Accommodations apply to all exams, including the initial baseline exam, without affecting guarantee eligibility.
For LSAT students, accommodations such as skipping the experimental section or using extended time are also recognized, provided the exams are completed under test-like conditions.
Practice Exam Requirements
To maintain eligibility for the guarantee:
Ensure that all practice exams are taken under the conditions specified in your accommodations approval. For example, if you are approved for 1.5x timing and split-day testing, these adjustments must be applied to your practice exams.
If you have questions about how accommodations affect specific requirements, such as completing a certain number of questions, contact accommodations@blueprintprep.com for clarification.
Attendance and Participation Requirements
While accommodations ensure accessibility, they do not alter attendance or participation requirements for the guarantee. For example, completing additional classes during an extension period does not retroactively qualify you for the guarantee.
FAQs on Specific Scenarios
Will using accommodations like extended breaks or split-day testing affect my guarantee?
No, using approved accommodations such as extended breaks or split-day testing will not impact your eligibility for the guarantee.
How do I adjust exam timing for my accommodations?
Exam timing can be adjusted in your Blueprint account by following the instructions provided in the support resources. For additional breaks or split-day testing, you can pause the exam, and the time will be saved.
What happens if I don’t submit my accommodations approval?
If your accommodations approval is not submitted, your practice exams and coursework will not reflect your accommodations, which may affect your eligibility for the guarantee. Always ensure your documentation is submitted and verified.
