i have adhd btw, so i am speaking from experience...
see if there are any strategies that help u get into hyperfocus mode... cos once ur in it ur in it, but if ur not in it then its rly hard, (wow that was a lot of the same words in one sentence)so see what helps u get into the zone.
sometimes if everything is too distracting what ill do is play thru a song i know rly well in my head... ill hear everything, the words, the tone of voice, the background instruments and i'll make myself focus on it intensly which just kinda gets my brain into concentrating mode and tunes out the rest of the world so i can then focus on my exam.
but yeh u have to know urself and what helps u and motivates u... ik im in the same yr as u, but ive been diagnosed since yr 9, so ive had time to work with it and find things that motivate me (of course im procrastinating rn because im in denial that maths is tomorrow and i have studied, but im not taking it for a level so thats my justification im a hypocrite ik) BUT, yeh, lmk if u want any tips or stuff thats more specific

Thanks a lot defo gonna try this in my maths exam Tmr . It’s mainly just other people looking around and small noises people make . I also seem to get distracted by the invigilators and I’m more Interested in what there doing than my own exam. Good luck in maths Tmr

wld earbuds help? (not electronic ones, the type theyt give out on planes i think u have to be approved for it, but if the schl are backing u... if that wld help u shld spk to the senco as soon as u can to see if u cld qualify for future exams... also idk if u cld qualify for extra time but that's definitely something worth asking about, and even if ur not diagnosed, u might be able to get it if the school push for u, or u can try for rest-breaks if those wld help, or typing... there's things that u cld do to help, i think abt getting distracted, if u can try for the earbuds that wld definitely help, just make sure u get good ones, it just takes away the edge on the noise so its not so sharp/stark in ur ear....

hi
im trying to figure out (basically just googling) if i can be allowed/become approved to type in all or at least most of my gcses. i just have adhd tho nothing else so im not sure if i qualify for typing rather than writing. i already have extra time (no rest breaks - never really asked/looked into that). i really really really would find it soo much easier to type but i was just wondering if you know if having just adhd (nothing else like dyslexia and stuff) would be enough to ask to type and be approved for this?
rlly random sry but if u see this & u know i would really appreciate it 💗💗
