What is the ‘assessment’ for receiving Extra Time?

AC2003

I have been asked to come for being Assessed for Extra Time as part of my Access Arrangements in my upcoming A-Level exams, so do you have any idea about what kind of a test do the school’s SENDCO department give you for assessing whether you need Extra Time, and do you have any tips regarding this?
Any help will be appreciated!
