Special Testing Accommodations (STA)

What is STA?

STA stands for “Special Testing Accommodations”. STA is a mandatory procedure for requesting non-standard exam conditions due to illness, injury, physical disability, or other conditions.

Who should apply for STA?

STA should be considered by any examinee that might:
• need to consume medicine DURING the test (including food / drink for medical reasons)
• wear health monitoring devices (such as an insulin meter)
• use hearing aids or reading glasses or a magnifying glass
• have developmental disabilities

What kind of accommodation requests can result from STA?

There are many possible requests such as enlarged test papers or use of a phone for glucose monitoring. Details are in the STA ZIP. For application purposes, all requests broadly fall under one of these two kinds:
• Request(s) that require a separate test room. Any request for extended time will automatically require this. DO NOT REGISTER USING THIS PAGE. Go here instead: https://m3krd2oolsta2026a.eventbrite.com.au
• Request(s) where the examinee can still be included together in the main test room with all other examinees. Usually this is a reading glasses or magnifying glass request.
