Cory G.

I recently completed neuropsychological testing as an adult female to better understand some ongoing mental health concerns, and I’m so grateful I did. The entire process was very thorough — from the detailed intake session to the actual testing, which covered memory, attention, processing speed, and emotional functioning.

The clinician made me feel heard, respected, and never rushed. The evaluation helped identify ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, and trauma-related patterns, which finally gave me clarity after years of confusion. I also received a comprehensive report with clear recommendations for therapy, medication options, and strategies for daily life.

This experience was truly life-changing and empowering. If you are struggling to find answers about your mental health as an adult, I highly recommend pursuing neuropsychological testing here.

As a mom, I was initially nervous about my child undergoing neuropsychological testing, but it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience. The evaluation provided a comprehensive understanding of my child’s strengths and areas of need, which has been invaluable for tailoring their educational plan. The insights from Dr. Max and team have not only helped the school create a more effective learning environment but also guided us in seeking the right support and interventions. Overall, the testing has empowered us with the knowledge to better support our child’s development and well-being.

Why Choose KMN Psych for Professional Exam Accommodations Testing?

Specialized Expertise in High-Stakes Testing

Our team has experience with the documentation requirements for MCAT and bar exam accommodations. We understand what testing agencies need to see and ensure your evaluation meets all specific criteria.

We use proven neuropsychological measures, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-V), and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) to provide thorough documentation of your cognitive profile.

Since accommodation requests can take 60+ days to process and must be submitted well in advance of test dates, we prioritize quick completion of evaluations to meet critical deadlines. We pride ourselves on typically shorter wait times for scheduled testing as well.

Our detailed 15-20 page reports include the elements required by testing agencies: diagnostic information, functional limitations, accommodation rationale, and specific recommendations tailored to exam demands.

MCAT Accommodations

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a critical step in your journey to medical school, and the AAMC is committed to ensuring all students can demonstrate their knowledge fairly. Understanding the accommodation process and requirements can help you determine if you qualify and what documentation you’ll need.

Who Qualifies for MCAT Accommodations?

The AAMC provides accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including learning disabilities, ADHD, psychiatric conditions, sensory impairments, and physical or medical impairments. Common qualifying conditions include:

The AAMC offers various types of accommodations designed to address specific functional limitations while maintaining the integrity of the exam. The accommodations you may receive depend entirely on your documented needs and how your condition impacts test performance under standard conditions.

Common MCAT accommodations include extended testing time, additional break time (stop-the-clock breaks), separate testing environments, assistive technology, and access to food/drink during the exam. The specific accommodations granted depend on your documented functional limitations and how they impact test performance.

Proper documentation is essential for MCAT accommodation approval. The AAMC has specific requirements for what must be included in your evaluation, and working with an experienced neuropsychologist ensures all necessary elements are addressed comprehensively.

The AAMC requires comprehensive evaluations from qualified professionals with specialized training in the area of disability. Our neuropsychological evaluations include:

  • Current cognitive and achievement testing
  • Detailed diagnostic information
  • Functional limitations assessment
  • Accommodation recommendations with a clear rationale
  • History of previous accommodations
  • Personal statement documentation

Bar Exam Accommodations

Bar exam accommodations vary significantly by state, each with unique processes, deadlines, and documentation requirements. Understanding your specific jurisdiction’s requirements early in the process is crucial for successful accommodation approval.

State-Specific Requirements

Each state bar association operates independently when it comes to accommodation policies and procedures. This means what works in one state may not apply to another, making it essential to understand your specific jurisdiction’s requirements well in advance.

Each state bar has unique accommodation processes and deadlines. Common deadlines range from 80-90 days before the exam, making early evaluation critical.

Bar exam accommodations are designed to address functional limitations while preserving the validity and security of the examination. The types of accommodations available are generally similar across states, though approval criteria may vary.

Bar exam accommodations may include extended testing time, additional breaks, separate testing environments, assistive technology, and other necessary modifications. Popular accommodations include:

  • Time and a half or double time
  • Additional rest breaks
  • Separate, distraction-free testing room
  • Computer with accessibility features
  • Permission to bring medications or medical supplies

State bar associations require thorough documentation that demonstrates both the existence of a disability and its functional impact on test-taking ability. Unlike some other standardized tests, bar exams often have additional requirements related to the practice of law.

State bars require documentation from qualified professionals showing functional limitations and rationale for requested accommodations. Our comprehensive reports address:

  • Current diagnostic information
  • Substantial limitation of major life activities
  • Impact on test-taking ability
  • Accommodation necessity and appropriateness
  • Professional qualifications of the evaluator

Critical Timing for Professional Exam Accommodations

Timing is absolutely critical when applying for professional exam accommodations. Missing deadlines typically means waiting for the next testing cycle, which can delay your career timeline significantly.

MCAT Deadlines

Understanding MCAT accommodation timelines is essential for successful planning. The AAMC has strict deadlines that cannot be extended, making early preparation crucial. MCAT accommodation requests require 60+ days for review, and approvals must be finalized at least 15 days before your test date. We recommend scheduling your evaluation at least 4-5 months before your intended MCAT date.

Bar exam deadlines are even more stringent than MCAT requirements, with most states requiring submission well in advance of the examination period. Bar exam accommodation deadlines typically fall 80-90 days before the exam, with some states requiring even earlier submission. Plan to complete your evaluation 6+ months before your bar exam.

Don’t wait until the last minute. Professional exam accommodations have strict deadlines, and late applications are typically not accepted under any circumstances.
