Extra time in A-Level exams

Hello,

So ive just completed my mocks and my grades were significantly lower then my in class work (C's vs As) and one of my teachers suggested I applied for extra time

However, I've never had extra times nor have I been a concern for the SEN department at school BUT I do feel like I take longer to process the question and write a little slower so I don't know whether that would qualify me?

The only sorta diagnosis I've had is mild dyslexia when I was like 5 but I doubt that would qualify me but I'm just worried I've redeveloped it?
So I was just wondering if anyone has/had extra time and how they were able to achieve it (ie did they have to take an exam?)
Thank you and I'm sorry it's long winded

Talk to the SEN coordinator at your school. They will likely do some assessments and will be able to tell you whether you qualify or not.
It's surprisingly common for smart people (as I'm sure you are!) not to realise that they have some "issue" with their mental processes. That's because they're smart and so have done well previously despite whatever the "issue" is. A levels are often the point at which they realise something isn't quite right, as they're ability to compensate is outweighed by the fact that A levels are, well, advanced.
So, in summary, see your SENCo.
