Abstract
Special arrangements are designed for test-takers with a disability or who need specific access arrangements to take an exam. They enable all IELTS test-takers to sit an accessible version of the test and for their performance to be assessed fairly. The aim of this review was to audit these special arrangements against some of the research literature on special educational needs and in light of what is currently considered good policy and practice. It also elicited stakeholder attitudes, perceptions and experiences of the existing testing accommodations and, where appropriate, made recommendations to IELTS for the future.
