Whats the criteria for access arrangements??

Most people in my year who get in trouble a lot or are just underachieving (grade 2 and below) have gotten extra time without any prior mental or physical issues. I asked one of them and she didn’t even know abt it until right before our first mock.

The teachers did this during mocks to prove to the exam board that they need extra time, but it’s just weird to me. Lots of ppl who are passing their subjects but need access arrangements , are disregarded and ignored.
