Most IEP's have testing accomodations written into them. These accomodations apply to ALL tests. But, a lot of kids, and for that matter adults, don't realize that. But, some special ed kids just are not college caliber students...that's why they are in special ed. It takes a super effort from the student, staff, and family to overcome some of the learning difficulties. I hate to say it, but a lot of special ed. athletes put way too much focus on the field instead of the books. You have to work twice as hard as the regular ed. student who finishes their homework in the last 15 minutes of class and only needs to review for a test rather than relearning the material. I'll say that Fork Union Military Academy has one of the better programs to deal with marginal students. They only take one subject per grading period and it is very intense. My brother did the PG program after he graduated PV and it was one of the best things he did.
