Looking for a bit of advice here. I have to do an aptitude test for a programming course next week and I'm bricking it.

It'll probably have some reading comprehension too.

Thing is, I'm an alright programmer but I can't do maths in my head and need a calculator or a piece of scrap paper to work things out on. I'm afraid I won't get onto the course and it'll mess up my whole plan for college etc.

I have more than enough qualifications to do this course and if there was an interview I'd ace it, I'm just a little slow and I think that's part of having ADHD.

Anyone have any advice on how to prepare, links to similar aptitude tests or anything? I know the point of an aptitude test is you shouldn't have to prepare but I'm going to come across as an idiot when I do this test.

Any tips would be most appreciated.
I never once had a math test, or critical reasoning test which the professor didn't allot scrap paper. Have you asked the test administrator if you can possibly use a blank scrap paper? I'm no Newton or Einstein either. need at least a piece of paper for math and logic, so that I can visualize it for myself. I feel your pain.
