Does anyone knows a good way to avoid stress at examination time? I "blew" a timed TMA (DD100) because due to stress and short term memory problems (dyspraxia!!)

Contact your Regional Office and tell them about you difficulties and they will find ways in which to help you in your studies.

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 news:[email protected]...

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.

That's good to hear. I know a few dyslexic people who have a similar agreement. "Paula" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]...
