Usually, the kids with learning disabilities or test anxiety are given more time (up to 7 hours).

My daughter has accommodations for epilepsy because after she has a seizure, she has severe brain fog for a day or two. Usually I just keep her home the day after, but if I didn't, I'm certain that extended test time the day after a seizure would make no difference. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great accommodation for many students, but it won't be useful for every student.
