However, for a special request to be considered, there are some set parameters for the medical evidences to be presented by the students.Accommodations like a short break, some extra time or a separate room will only be granted if the medical proofs/documents submitted by the students meet the following criteria:The students are required to submit a letter or certificate, signed by an authorised medical practitioner, written when the candidate aged 12 years of age or above. Candidates are simply required to present the latest documentation that they have to prove their case. The certificate/letter should be provided on a letterhead and must contain the date of issuing and the signature of the authorised medical practiotioner and must also contain specific details of the medical practitioner such as their name, title, details of practice along with other credentials.The letter should clearly state that the candidate applying for the edxam has a long-term disability and that requires extra/special accommodation for taking such exams. Details of the learning disbilities and the official assessments that have been carried out hould also be provided. The letter must be written in English. 

On meeting certain eligibility criteria, the request for "special requirement" should be raised while creating an account on the "my PTE" portal. On completing the account information (profile), the students will be asked to fill out an additional form and attach all the medical certificates and evidence they have to prove their claim for special request. Thereafter, the customer support team from the Pearson PTE exam will verify each case and then reach out to the candidates with special requests and book their slots.
