Any student using a scribe, including students who have dyslexia and others with learning difficulties, including physical difficulties, is provided with an additional ten minutes per hour or part of an hour for the time overhead in dictation to the scribe. Students who are using assistive technology and are unable to make use, including adequate use, of that in examination conditions are also provided with additional time, as are students with vision impairments. They are the three cohorts.
