Los resultados de exámenes individuales se pueden solicitar en formatos alternativos (tales como Braille, letra grande o idiomas alternativos), dirigiéndose a la escuela o distrito escolar local. Los distritos que no puedan atender las solicitudes a nivel local deben comunicarse con la Unidad de Evaluación de Estudiantes (Student Assessment Unit, en inglés) de la División de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de Arkansas (Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, en inglés) al 501-682-4558. 

Para asegurar la protección de los datos de los estudiantes, todos los informes en formatos alternativos se proporcionarán solamente a la escuela o distrito local, para que éstos los distribuyan a los padres o tutores.
