Candidates with disabilities and/or with SLD are entitled to compensatory tools and/or exemptions, and must explicitly request them when registering for the exam:

  • Additional time (up to 30% for candidates with SLD certification and up to 50% for candidates with disabilities);
  • A non-scientific calculator (only for candidates with SLD if specifically indicated in the diagnostic certificate);

  • Enlargement of the test text (if the test is in person) or use of the zoom function in the browser (if the test is online);
