Issues Affecting People with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Sive O'Brien:
On my experience in school with regard to the extra time, running out of time in an exam is obviously very stressful, especially when you have put such hard work into studying for the exam and in class. When you are in your exam and you can see the time running out but you are not even nearly done and needing to go back through all of the exam to make sure your answers are good, when you are under that time pressure, it can make it really stressful.
