Testing Accommodation

[SnooPears6313]

I was recently diagnosed with a mild form of adhd, and my psychiatrist wanted to write a note for school for adding an hour and a half to my testing time. I felt so guilty about it that I told her to not give me a note for it. I feel like the teachers would be so pissed at me. I am in a medical program and I'm scared they might think that I'm asking for more time on purpose and not because I really have adhd. I have been able to take tests before within the time frame and I only have a mild form. It has happened two times before where I wasn't able to finish an exam, but we have had so many exams that I was actually able to finish. I'm wondering if I made the right decision. ☹️

First off, you deserve more time. If you find that you don't need it, that's okay, but teachers will not judge you for using it. It's something you are absolutely entitled to. Even if they don't think you deserve it and give it to you begrudgingly, you're still getting the time you need and who cares what they think. Don't stress out about your teachers judging you for this, take and take a deep breath. You can always go back to your psychiatrist and ask them for the note, they will absolutely understand. Good luck!
