rgh my disability request for time-and-a-half was denied. apparently my WAIS scores and the fact that I took the PSAT without accomodation show that I do not meet criteria for the accomodation. I have no idea what I'm going to do...when taking the practice tests, I always assumed I'd be able to get time x .5, and used that extra time, and managed to score semi-decently. Now, I tried taking the test with the actual official amount of time, and...well...I'm screwed. Completely. I just barely made it through the verbal section...had to guess on one or two, but I got only halfway through the quant section..yeah I was on question 15 when my time ran out. I won't even tell you my score. It is just absolutely not possible for me to process information that quickly. You'd THINK that having three separate physicians confirm a diagnosis of schizophrenia and ADHD, and give them their opinion that I need extra time to process information in a stressful environment would be enough...but NO. Just because I'm good at arranging blocks into patterns and memorizing lists of words...rrrgh. I totally should have malingered on the stupid testing...but I didn't know at the time I'd need to send them the results.
Okay...done ranting...but I had to vent...this could seriously keep me out of grad school.
Fine. I wouldn't want to take their damn concession anyway.
