Hi,
Certiport will provide double time.

Subject: [nfbcs] Timed exams
Is there a standard reasonable accommodation for timed exams?
Eventually, when I feel I've mastered the material, I will be taking an exam
to get certified in the training I'm taking for work. I think my sighted
colleagues get around 2 hours to finish it. From taking an untimed exam, I
can already tell it will take me quite a bit longer, just because of the way
screen readers work. I was arrowing up and down a lot, reading the question
and answers, then re-checking the question to decide which answer was best.
I haven't discussed the exam with the trainers/certifiers yet, but I'd like
to have some idea of what would be reasonable before I do. They're working
hard to be accessible, but they haven't had an actual Jaws user before, so
they may not have any better idea what should be done than I do.
Thanks.
Tracy
