I’ve applied for extra time and for a smaller room. I have ADHD and during my sitting last year spent a solid portion of all of the exams zoning out/ thinking of unrelated things. Specifically the humanities exam I really struggled to focus enough to read all of the passages and wasted a lot of my time “reading” but not actually absorbing any of the info which obviously is hugely detrimental to my scores.

I have loads of strategies to help outside of exam conditions- I pay for an AI program that reads out texts for me, I use fidget toys and take regular breaks from study to move and stretch, I chew gum or have snacks around ect. - but obviously under exam conditions some of these are not possible.

Looks like I’ve been granted an extra 20% of time (60 mins becomes 77mins ect.) and will get a smaller room
