Has anyone ever experienced a change in mental state and then a drop in tests scores?
Thanks for this!

Absolutely and frustrating as h**l. Have you been finding this to happen too?

I try to stay on top of things, meds and studies by working ahead now to help combat this, in case I have any changes that will set me back.

These last 2 weeks are a good example for me. I had an exam yesterday and one Monday. Not so sure how they are going to come out with all these changes in me right now. I know the grades will not be near what they could have been before my episode (that I am still trying to get out from under.) I'm sure they are lower.

Sometimes preparing ahead of time can help, so as not to be in a position of cramming. But there's no way for tests, except to ask for an extension and reschedule, to get around taking them while feeling less than up to par and keep grades from suffering at times. Except that some T's or pdocs will help with documentation so an exam day is excused and can be rescheduled. It might be necessary and what's needed.

Your thread and its timing really struck a chord with me as I am struggling right now and concerned over my performance on these exams, given the circumstances and being as far away from 'up to par' as I can get right now.

We can only do what we can, and move on from there, one moment at a time.

Yes.

I've failed exams because of this before.

Hopefully not this year (fingers crossed)... I've cunningly chosen coursework based modules so I only have one exam all year. Still worried though...

Yes, I did poorly on tests and my GPA dropped significantly. I am coping much better this semester and improving my grades.

I just couldn't absorb information. It was like water off a duck's back and I withdrew.
