Extra Time Accommodation

Prevue supports fair and equitable assessment practices. Extra time may be appropriate for candidates completing the Cognitive Ability Assessment, which includes Words, Numbers, and Shapes, when there is a documented need.

Extra time accommodations help remove barriers for candidates completing timed assessments. When applied consistently, they support fair access without giving candidates an unfair advantage.

When Extra Time May Be Used

Extra time may be considered when a candidate has a documented need that affects their ability to complete a timed assessment.

This may include:

A disability
A medical condition
A psychological condition
Another documented need related to timed assessments

We recommend asking candidates to provide documentation from a licensed medical or psychological professional.

Let Candidates Know Early

Tell candidates that accommodations are available before they begin the assessment process.

You can include this information in:

Job postings
Candidate emails
Pre-assessment instructions
Assessment invitation messages

This gives candidates time to request support before starting their assessment.

Apply Accommodations Consistently

Each request should be reviewed individually using the same process.

To keep the process fair:

Use the same review process for all candidates
Apply similar accommodations for similar documented needs
Add extra time before the candidate starts the assessment
Keep a record of the request and decision
Limit access to accommodation information

Keep Information Confidential

Accommodation-related information should only be shared with people who need it to review or apply the request.

This includes:

Medical documentation
Disability-related information
Whether a candidate received extra time

Interpreting Results

Candidates who receive extra time should be evaluated using their assessment scores, the same as any other candidate.

When reviewing results:

Focus on the final assessment score
Do not factor in time-to-completion
Do not treat extra time as an advantage
Use the same job-related standards for all candidates
