I am a very literal person that has a big problem with being slow and meticulous. When I sit done to do anything (for example a test), it takes a long time because in order to do that task I need to understand it extremely well and I need to follow a set process every time. A perfect example is the compass test I took this year to place into college classes. Because this test was un-timed, I was able to score almost perfectly. In contrast, when I took my pre-calculus test this year, I took a long time. While the other students had finished, I was still working on the test even when class ended. Another example can be shown from the SAT I took this year. Because this test was timed, I almost never finished a section.

On a quick side note, I do have OCD but I am making great headway in overcoming it. Not sure if it's related in any way though.

So this leaves me with 2 questions:
1. Can I try to get some benefits as far as how long I can take a test?
2. What advice do you guys have for getting over this problem?
