Accommodations and English Learner Support for the ACT test
Test Accommodations for College Board and ACT Tests
Accommodations in your student's Frisco ISD developed IEP or 504 plan do not automatically apply to College Board or ACT tests. Accommodations for these tests must be requested through a separate process. There is no guarantee your student will
be approved to use accommodations during the administration of the College Board and ACT tests. The approval of accommodations for these tests is determined solely by the College Board and ACT testing services. Families, and not Frisco ISD
staff, are ultimately responsible for obtaining these accommodations. Frisco ISD will assist with the accommodation applications as a courtesy for all students with IEPs and 504 plans for families who timely follow the application process.
It is important for families to adhere strictly to the Frisco ISD specified timelines for submitting all requests for accommodations and to provide all requested documentation. Failure to timely submit the requested information to Frisco ISD
staff may result in an inability to submit the accommodation request. Any additional educational and neuropsychological testing needed or requested by the College Board or ACT is the responsibility of the family and will not be provided by
Frisco ISD staff. Due to processing time, the Frisco ISD deadlines for accommodation requests and documentation are prior to the dates given by College Board or ACT. These dates are final. If you are requesting after the deadline, we will
work with you to apply for accommodations for the next available test date.
For more information on submitting an accommodation request, contact the campus CCMR Facilitator.

TSIA (Texas Success Initiative Assessment)
The TSI is another exam to determine college readiness and is usually administered directly on college or university campuses. Frisco ISD does not currently administer the TSIA on any of our campuses. Dual credit students are required to either take the TSIA or meet the waiver requirements for the TSIA through other testing options.
Students interested in taking the TSIA should contact the college directly where they are applying.
Free Personalized Online Exam Preparation
Frisco ISD is excited to offer current students in grades 6-12 the opportunity to access free online learning for college readiness tutorials.
SAT, ACT and TSIA2 prep is available through Apex. The asynchronous virtual learning opportunity is open for secondary Frisco ISD students to self-enroll.
SAT and PSAT prep is available through a partnership with Khan Academy and the College Board. Students who have not yet taken a PSAT or SAT can complete diagnostic tests online and receive a personalized learning
pathway. Frisco ISD students who take the PSAT and SAT through Frisco ISD can link their scores to the Khan Academy site and receive a personalized pathway to learn content and skills.
The ACT organization also provides free online ACT preparation through the ACT Academy.
College Admissions
While most colleges and universities require a college entrance exam such as the SAT or ACT, some universities are going “testing optional” and not requiring them as part of the admissions process. Please review the website for any
college or university that you are interested in to learn about their specific admissions requirements.
