ESL Testing Accommodations

My application was recently approved for ESL testing accommodations. I am bilingual and I do not have a disability or medical condition. The screenshot below is from my NCARB account and seems like I have a documented disability because English is not my first language...

Additionally, I have to schedule my exams via phone rather than online because of my "disability". The wait usually takes a very long time to get in touch with the PSI test center. The overall process is very inefficient and time consuming, and quite honestly, it feels like a punishment for those whose first language is not English.

    Yes, my application was approved for the testing accommodation. The point I was trying to make is the inefficiency of the process to schedule an exam for bilingual design professionals.

    I completely agree! It feels like a punishment for those who have accommodation associated with their account. Very inefficient and time consuming, and discouraging really.
