Test provisions

In what situations can you apply for additional exam time (AET)?

You are entitled to additional time if you have difficulty concentrating and/or reading and can substantiate that this is due to personal circumstances, such as:

• dyslexia
• AD(H)D
• ASD
• blindness or visual impairment
• a disability that causes difficulties with concentration
• you grew up abroad.

If you have a visual impairment, you will get 50% additional time; in most other cases, you will get 25%. The student counsellor grants this additional time on behalf of the examination board. These facilities apply to both central and decentralised exams.

You can also request additional testing facilities from the student counsellor. Examples include the ability to visit the restroom during an exam, eat or drink, take medication, or use a dictionary or headphones.

Are you unsure about the testing facilities available to you? Please consult your student counsellor.

How to apply for additional test time extension (AET) or other facilities?

Do you have dyslexia? If so, you do not need to visit the student counsellor yourself. You can directly apply for additional exam time (AET) digitally. Read more on Student Info or apply directly via the Digital Service Point.

For all other circumstances, you can request additional exam time or other facilities through the student counsellor. Schedule an appointment.

Other facilities?

You may (also) benefit from facilities other than testing facilities. It would be best to visit your degree programme's student counsellor as soon as possible if you have any additional needs.

With the student counsellor, you will discuss which other facilities would be appropriate for you. ‘Appropriate’ means that the provision is suitable – i.e. that it is of real use to you – and that you really need it on account of your personal circumstances.
