If you truly and medically need it then why not? If you’re just trying to game the system then no. This isn’t as easy to cheat as the SATs is for the rich white folks.

Agreed. However, getting 1.5-2x the normal testing time when you don’t actually need it is more common than it should be. I consider this cheating as well.
Do you have a disability?
Yes, I did get extra time on the GMAT. But I was also diagnosed with ADHD in 3rd grade. So I’ve had time and a half on every test I’ve ever taken. SAT, ACT, GMAT, LSAT, etc. If you don’t have an actual diagnosed disability, then no.
Yep, I got it because I’ve had a right hand operation that has permanently slowed me down in terms of writing / typing / operating mouse so I could it approved with proof from surgeon letters etc
If you have a documented disability and have received accommodations for this disability before then it’s fairly easy to get 1.5x time. I’ve had accommodations for my ADHD/ADD and test anxiety since middle school so I was able to get 1.5x and a separate reduced distraction testing room approved easily. As long as you had accommodations at least starting in college it shouldn’t be hard to obtain. The whole process takes about a month for them to review all the documentation you provide and make a decision.
Just go say you have adhd from a doctor
