Well last week I was tested for ADHD inattentive type. I only met 6 of the 9 requirements for it, but the psychologist still determined I had it. So now I get extra test time in school!

On a side note, you said you had gotten 50% extra time for the SAT. My mom called the college board and they are sending out some forms for us to fill out. We are going to provide my near perfect compass test (this is an untimed community college test to see where someone is in school) scores to show evidence that I do better in untimed testing conditions. However, we are stilling to figure this out.

Do you have any advice for us on getting the SAT extra time?
