My friend might be getting extra time and i hate it.

No she doesn't have a learning disability or a disorder that makes her have difficulty. She got like 8s and 9s in her GCSE and now we're in year 13, she just happens to do very badly in her mocks and shes asked a teacher if she can have extra time purely because she didn't finish her exams. Not many people finish their exam in my class so idk why she gets to ask and shes close to getting it.
She got a C in her mock for one class and then two Bs in another. She told me that she can't process quickly, but neither can I? It makes me angry how she gets special treatment and I don't even when my grades are clearly lower than hers. I know its not a competition but if teachers opened their eyes more, they would see that she doesn't need it and there are people who do. She complains about how she doesn't get to finish her exams like she did in the GCSEs i can't even complete exams now but i haven't been asking around and seeking help that i don't need.
I just feel like shes using it because she wants an advantage for her alevels.

Should i ask for extra time too or is it too late? I hope they say no to her because this isnt fair.

Its only starting to annoy me more because we've been doing timed tests in class that have to be completed in 30 minutes. But if you finish before the time limit, you can just hand it in and just sit there and wait. And she just gives it in at like the 20 minute mark and sits their happily. She doesn't have a disadvantage, her processing time is fine. Everyone process things slowly, like it takes me 5 minutes to understand the text. It's not going to click before that, its normal but she seems like its not. If you can't tell, i'm extremely annoyed. Her predicated is already AAB. I want extra time so bad. I'm on a BCC and yes i do revise.

So where do you stop? If you go to uni and see someone with better marks getting extra time, will you ask for it too? In a job, if someone gets extra time to complete their tasks, will you want it too?

It sounds like this has only become an issue because of your friend and it wouldn't bother you otherwise. You don't know all her circumstances, but if you have a problem then shouldn't you be telling your parents and seeing your GP for it to be formally raised with the school?

yeah if someone didn't need the extra time in uni, yeah i'll probs find out and ask. I'm not gonna sit back while people get an advantage.
Yeah youre right, this situation only annoys me bc of my friend as i know what shes like, i know her capabilities. Ans she doesn't need it.
My parents don't believe in this sort of stuff and just tell me to get grip so going to the GP isn't an option. Her test is tmrw so im hoping she doesn't get it and if she does, then im asking

You need to mind your business

You dont just get given extra time because you asked for it.
You have to have good reason and provide evidence for said reason.
Its not something teachers just give out because a student thinks they need a bit of extra time.

And if she does get given extra time thats none of business WHY she has it. And she doesnt have to tell you.

How is it an 'advantage' when someone has a condition that affects how they can function? Sometimes there are compensations, such as being gifted in a particular subject, but that doesn't mean there aren't issues. Anyway, medical information is private and none of your business, and no educational organisation is going to discuss anyone else's circumstances with you. You don't know that your friend doesn't need the extra help.

If you ask the school for extra time, be prepared for them to contact your parents and ask for a formal diagnosis, backed up by evidence from a doctor...

yeah except she doesn't have a condition otherwise ur point would be correct
