An applicant requesting non-standard testing conditions must file with the secretary, NOT LATER THAN THE FILING DEADLINE FOR THE APPLICATION FOR EXAMINATION, a Petition for Non-Standard Testing Conditions on the form available from the secretary as early as possible to permit an evaluation of the request. Insofar as practicable any accommodation requested shall be consistent with the security of the examination.
