In the examination instructions, despite the examination service item allowing examinees to apply for an extension of the examination time according to their physiological disabilities, the General Scholastic Test nonetheless requires that all extensions are limited to 20 minutes (2021 Syllabus indicates an extension of 30 minutes), Similarly, the Advanced Subjects Test states that extensions are limited to 50 minutes, which seems to illustrate that there are no reasonable accommodations made based on the level of disability and the difference in individual needs. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education (MOE) conduct an overall review on all examination affairs units and schools in order to determine whether reasonable accommodation for examinations for disabled people are actually provided for entrance examinations.
