Exam centre is trying to charge me extra for needing access arrangements.
I have ADHD and normally need the extra time in my exams - I've used this in school before, both in my GCSEs and A-Levels.
I'm a private candidate doing my A-Level resits independently this year. I've just had to pay over 1k to do my resits (2 A Level exams) and my exam centre is asking for more money. they've said 25% extra time is an additional 25% of my fee. Is this normal? Isn't this disability discrimination?

It isn't normal - they might have to pay the invigilator more because the exam is longer but not 25%. Ask them why ...
