Honestly it's a shame I can't rep your comment again.

why would u report their comment for spreading useful information.

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.

I'm trying

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.

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?

REP not report. like thumbs up

Ahhh my bad. Had no clue what rep meant. That's why I was confused.

i didn't force it out of her, she told me everything. She's not proving evidence, she got told to do a writing test

Which is evidence? They're timing her and making her write to see if she can write quicker or slower than the average person. I quite honestly think you're just being selfish, thinking your friend clearly doesn't have problems.
If you think you have a problem, ask. Get a writing test. But putting your friend down and saying she doesn't need it purely because she's predicted high grades is what makes you an awful friend.
A levels are an entirely different workload than GSCEs and exams are a lot more stressful than timed questions because of how tricky the exam board can make the papers. They're inconsistent and use horrible wording to catch people off.
TLDR: Don't be a prick. Ask for help if you think you need it.

I have the same thing happening, my mate has slow processing time but her work and contributions in class show otherwise. She doesn't have any disabilities or learning problems either. Lets hope they don't get it lol, if they don't have medical proof, then i don't see why she would get it. There are people who need it for valid reasons but having slow processing time when theres proof that your doing well is just stupid. People just like to abuse the system.

Many people are diagnosed late with learning difficulties as an adult - I was myself and didn't get extra time at all in GCSE's but I do at uni All my coursework at college was coursework so it didn't matter but I did struggle. Just because your friend did fine in GCSEs is completely different to A Levels which are more intense and totally different ballpark. Also, sixth form is more independent compared to college. The coping strategies work fine until they don't

Also, it's not special treatment, she's clearly at a disadvantage. Any adjustments will just bring people up to a level playing field.
The process for getting extra time you need the JCQ paperwork and evidence to prove you actually have the disability to get the adjustments in place so its pretty strict. You can't just 'want extra time' to get it. You usually need to be struggling with a condition e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism, ADHD etc, which processing speed can affect. So if you're worried about any of these yourself it might be worth having a research and see your GP to see if you can get assessed/referred for assessment.

you can have slower processing but still get good grades in class/do better than your peers

yeah exactly, just because you have slow processing time doesn't mean you should have extra time depending on ur situation

I mean it does, that’s the point of it. People with slow processing process things slower than than the average person with no slower processing so they need extra time to accommodate for that. Their academic ability is irrelevant, they are receiving accommodations for something that isn’t within their reasonable control.
That’s of the reasons I need extra time regardless of my academic ability.

Theres a difference between having a slow processing time and having a slow processing time because they have a learning disability or smt. I think people get confused abt that. Because if you were allowed time for the first, then majority of people would have it, including myself. In my experience, I have never been able to finish an exam since year 10, i have had some friends who struggle the same yet we can't do anything abt this bc our school needs proof that we are slow, aka medical proof. Also some people think they are slow processors but in reality they're just stressed which is normal in an exam or having things in exam conditions.

I'm not saying that everyone who gets extra time or wants extra time is like this btw, i completely understand if you struggle - but i think having a slow processing time is something you have consistently rather than having it at random moments which people in my school claim to have. When in reality, what most of them have is being stuck on a question, not knowing what to write down.
Idk this is just my experience tho, I don't want to come across as mean - some people genuinely need it and i understand
