[etni] spelling mistakes

Somebody please enlighten me...
if I give a spelling test, and a student has a ptor (exemption?) from spelling 
mistakes, does that mean I have to accept anything that is vaguely close to the 
correct sound of the word,  or can I claim that in a spelling test you have to 
spell correctly? 
Any informed response will be appreciated
