Depending on the region you are in, you can attend an Exam Stress management course within the OU.
If you are Dyslexic / Dyspraxic, then you should tell the OU asap and provide them with the
necessary evidence to prove your disability (contrary to popular thinking....dyslexia is a
disability). You may be entitled to extra time. HTH. "Paula" <[email protected]> wrote in message

I am dyslexic. I have refused extra time because it gives me too much time to think and I am always
finishing early. Good luck with your exam. "Paula" <[email protected]> wrote in message
