    Yeah- my writing is like 14 wpm, but I also have difficulties processing (the way I think and take in information takes alot longer than everyone else) plus I have a crap short term memory (remembering quotes is particularly challenging)
    I have that too, slow processor and awful short term memory, do you find long question really hard to deal with, cos i can't process the question as a whole, not good as an English Lit student.

    Oh yes. I will be surprised if I've scraped a C and will collapse with shock if I get anything more!

    Hi, I'm new here

    I used a computer and got extra time for my GCSEs and A Levels, still waiting for a DSA assessment.

    I have a computer and extra time for my exams, i'm supposed to have a radio as well cos i find it really difficult to concentrate in silence but that hasn't turned up, apparently because it will disturb the others, these 'others' i haven't yet met, the only other in my exam room over the past two years has been my invigilator.
    :rofl:

    this really made me laugh out loud

    (oh and no offence)
