How can I find out about access arrangements for taking tests and exams for learners with vision impairment?
A wide range of access arrangements exist to enable vision impaired learners to take national curriculum tests (SATs) and public exams such as GCSE and Scottish Highers.
These include:
- modified papers in accessible formats
- extra time
- technology
Access arrangements must not conflict with the nature and purpose of the assessment, so the rules around their use are enforced strictly.
Further information can be found on RNIB's Access to exams and tests webpage.
