Employment Testing of Persons with Diasabling Conditions - IPAC

B. Performance Tests - The physical needs of disabled candidates taking
performance testa should be taken into account in the same manner as
for written tests. However, because performance tests generally
approximate actual tasks performed on the job, modifications or
adjustments to test materials must be subjected to close analysis
before implementation. Only those modifications that match
modifications that are likely to be made on the job should be
considered.
C- Ratings of Training and Experience - Disabled candidates may require
the same assistance in filling out questionnaires or applications
that they do in taking a written test, and the same types of
accommodations are appropriate.
VII. Time allowances - Consistent with the nature and purposes of the test,
additional time will be provided for disabled candidates to complete a
written test when necessary to assure equitable competition with nondisabled
candidates.
A. Power testa
A power test is one in which speed is not a major consideration in
rating and all or nearly all candidates are expected to be able to
complete the test within the time allowance. MaxdjBum time allowance
for disabled candidates for a power test will be set according to
the following guidelines.
1. Disabled candidates who are deemed to need additional time
to complete a written test or combination of tests will be
allowed double the regular time allowance provided for other
candidates.
