9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 21 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 0 of 9.
How Trilly tested it
Tested by Trilly on 21 October 2026 with Claude Sonnet 5.5: every critical check right in all 9 runs. A well-prompted AI with the same facts got them all right in 0 of 9.
Trilly tested version 1.0.0 on 21 October 2026. Version 1.0.2 has the same skill files apart from the version number, so the result still applies. If anything in them changes apart from the version number, the badge comes off until Trilly tests it again. The paste-in versions for other AI apps weren't part of the test.
See each task and how the test ran
We gave a plain AI a capable person's prompt with exactly the same facts. Then we ran each task 3 times with the skill and 3 times without it. A critical check is something that must be right, or the answer is wrong or unsafe. Nicer formatting never counts.
| Task | With the skill | Well-prompted AI |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1 of 3: a hand-off to a browser helper What it tested: JCQ: where Form 8 shows two low average standardised scores (85-89) in two different areas of speed of working, AAO won't approve 25% extra time; make an online referral to the awarding body through AAO with the evidence (Joint Council for Qualifications) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a job using connected apps What it tested: College Board: all requests for accommodations for the May 2027 AP Exams must be submitted by the SSD coordinator through SSD Online by January 22, 2027 (College Board, AP Central) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: JCQ: a writing speed score can't be used towards 25% extra time for a candidate who uses a word processor; two qualifying scores in two different areas of speed of working are needed (Joint Council for Qualifications) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
- Another AI, Claude Opus 5.5, marked every check in every answer. It had to quote the answer for each mark, and there were no half marks.
- Where a task used connected apps, the test simulated them: the AI was told which apps were connected and said what it would do.
- This was Trilly's test. How it goes for the people who use it shows further down the page.
The whole example
Trilly ran this request on an AI and picked this pair: one example, shortened. The score is from Trilly's test.
You ask
SENCO, Ashfield School (England). I'm signed in to Access Arrangements Online through Pearson Edexcel Online. Candidate 4127, GCSEs, June 2027. Form 8: I did Part 1 before the assessment with teacher feedback; Part 2 on 14 October 2026 (she's in Year 10): reading speed SS 86, writing speed SS 88. She reads for herself and handwrites. Her English and History mocks show her using 25% extra time. Fill in the 25% extra time application and stop before Submit. Will AAO approve it?
Without the skill
I can't access AAO, so this is a copy-from sheet. Field names are approximate, so match them to the screens you see. Check the current JCQ AA regulations too.
Straight answer: AAO is unlikely to approve 25%. As I recall the rules, 25% needs at least two below-average standardised scores (84 or below) from different speed-related assessments. Scores of 86 and 88 are low average (85-89), so they don't meet the 25% threshold. Using 25% in mocks doesn't change this, because it's evidence of normal way of working, not of the qualifying scores. Scores in this range may support up to 10%, if the other criteria are met. Please verify against this year's JCQ wording.

ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS
Will AAO approve it? No, not directly. Candidate 4127 has two low average scores (85 to 89), SS 86 for reading speed and SS 88 for writing speed. They count, because she reads for herself and handwrites. They are in two different areas of speed of working, so the score rule is met only through referral. AAO won't approve two low average scores. The centre makes an online referral to the awarding body through AAO, with the evidence attached and a strong justification.
Act today: the June 2027 series deadline is Sunday 21 March 2027. Aim to refer by Friday 19 March. Reminder: Friday 5 March 2027, the working day before 7 March.
| Candidate | Arrangement | Evidence held | Route | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4127 | 25% extra time | Form 8 Part 1 (before assessment); Part 2 on 14 October 2026 (SS 86 reading, 88 writing); English and History mocks | Refer to awarding body | To do |
Still missing: teachers' comments on why she needs 25% extra time and how she uses it. Your mocks cover the "used in tests" sample. Attach them with the comments, and make the justification strong.

Only if you've connected them to your AI app. It works without them too.
- Spreadsheets (for example Google Sheets or Excel): Read the access arrangements tracker and keep it by candidate number. Reads: The tracker sheet you name, and nothing else Creates: Google Sheets, where the AI app can edit sheets: new or updated rows in the tracker named, by candidate number, only after a yes. Never deletes rows. Asks you before it creates or changes anything. Without it: The tracker comes as a copy-ready table to paste into the school's own sheet.
- Email (for example Outlook; Gmail only reads): Find a teacher's reply you name, and save evidence requests to teachers as drafts. Reads: The emails you pick from a search Creates: Outlook, where the admin allows it: one evidence request per teacher as a draft with no recipient, only after a yes. Never sends. Asks you before it creates or changes anything. Without it: Each request comes as copy-ready text for you to send from the school's own system.
- Calendar (for example Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar): Add each application deadline, approval expiry and series date with a reminder. Creates: One event per deadline or reminder, titled 'Access arrangements check-in', never a candidate's need, only after a yes. Never invites anyone. Asks you before it creates or changes anything. Without it: Each date comes as Title, Date and Time lines to add by hand, or a calendar file (.ics) if the app can make files.
- Where your information goes
-
- Candidate numbers, arrangements, scores and evidence dates: Stays in the chat, and in the school's own tracker, drafts and calendar after a yes. Candidate numbers only; no name, date of birth or condition in a tracker, event title or subject line.

- Websites for you
- Some steps use a browser helper on websites it names. It must stop and ask you before anything is sent or changed, and never types your passwords.
- Your accounts
- Takes actions in your accounts. It must ask you before each change.

What it does, in full
Written in English. Answers in your language
Give it your candidates by number and the evidence you hold. It checks each one against the rules of the exams they sit: whether the arrangement is how they normally work, which assessment scores count for extra time and which don't, and whether the application can be approved, must go to the exam board, or isn't ready yet.
You get a tracker by candidate number, requests to teachers for classroom evidence, every deadline and approval expiry dated, and an exam-day plan with rooms, staff and finish times. Your browser helper can fill the exam board's online application and stop before the final button; you type each name and date of birth.
It is admin only: it never diagnoses or gives medical advice, and the assessor or school team decides need. Candidate numbers only: no name or date of birth goes in any tracker, file or event. If your spreadsheet, email or calendar is connected, it can update the tracker, draft requests and add deadlines, and it asks first.
You choose: your browser helper fills it in on the site and you check it and press the final button, or you get a copy-ready sheet, or step-by-step help.
Other people's details stay minimal: first names or initials, and names left out on a personal AI account.
What you get
Ask. Works in the AI apps it's made for. Paste or upload what you have, and it does the job right there in the chat.
Works with your apps. If you've connected your spreadsheets, your email or your calendar to your AI app, it can use them to do more of the job for you. You choose: it works without them too, from what you paste or upload.
Does it for you. You choose: if you use a browser helper such as Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT Work or Comet, it can do the clicking for you on the website it names, one page at a time, or you get a copy-ready version to paste in yourself. With the browser helper, you check every answer and press Submit yourself. It never types your passwords or card numbers.
Remembers you. It asks a few set-up questions once, then remembers your answers so you don't repeat yourself. You can change them any time.
Works over days. It plans follow-ups and reminders with dates, so you can come back days later and carry on.
How each part works
Works with your apps.
- Spreadsheets (for example Google Sheets or Excel): read the access arrangements tracker and keep it by candidate number. It asks you before it creates or changes anything.
