Accommodations are provided for students either through a form or test assignment. Accommodations vary by program.
A separate form controls each accommodation; therefore, students assigned the same accommodation receive different forms.
If a student test assignment includes a form-based accommodation, PearsonAccessnext makes the form available to that test during session preparation.
You cannot update an accommodation assignment when a student test session has started and/or the student has started testing.

Test assignment-controlled
Each accommodation has the same form, but specific values are passed to TestNav to turn the accommodations on or off (or to make a one or more available to a student test).
If selected for a student test, accommodations appear to a student upon sign in.
