Summary

Accommodation

The tests were given under two conditions: Timed and Untimed.

Participants

A total of 222 fifth grade students participated in this study, 6 with physical disabilities, 94 with learning disabilities, and 112 without disabilities (125 boys and 97 girls).

Dependent Variable

Each student took parallel forms G and H of either the Language Usage and Expression test or the Mathematics Concepts test of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills.

Findings

The results of the study provide no evidence of a difference in test speededness for the group with disabilities and the group without disabilities nor evidence that the groups are differentially affected when the amount of speededness was reduced.
