You will be asked to confirm this as part of the booking process.\nPlease note: This stipulation is for non-native English speakers.\nHow can you access tests?\nFor CCET you will need two tests, both of which need to be administered and scored manually (i.e. a computerised test will not be accepted) and must provide a standard score, confidence range and percentile.\nTo use the same tests for AAC, it is imperative that your tests are suitable for assessing Access Arrangements. For AAC, we recommend you have access to tests which cover text reading speed, writing speed, spelling and cognitive processing for a full range for assessment. In order to successfully complete this course, you will need at least one test that assesses cognitive processing.\nPlease visit our tests webpage for further information and guidance.\nReal Group runs the Dyslexia Action Shop which sells many of the most popular tests from the main test publishers in the UK and USA. We offer delegates a 10% discount. Another option is to utilise our Study Purchase Scheme.\nPlease note: we have no control over the rules that publishers use to decide who is eligible to buy their tests and we will need to follow their guidance when selling te",
