I had a math test. I studied really hard for it because I didn't do so well on our last one. I hope I did well but there was a twelve point question that I figured out but my answer didn't correlate with the questions that were asked after it and I kept going over it trying to figure out how I got the answer I did and just couldn't figure it out. Also, I didn't have enough time to do the extra credit problems. Well atleast now I have tomorrow off.

>You might have ADD. I got a $1650 test done at Mass Gen. Hospital in Boston (it was free for me b/c I was poor) and after an all-day evaluation, I was assessed and given extended time on my tests. Usually I never bother to use it, but lately I feel pressured enough to start using it for the first time in 4 years.
Talk with your disabilities office. These tests take months just to schedule.

I have evaluations done for learning disabilites. They take a few hours, but they're not too bad. You don't need to go to a hospital to have them done, you can go to a learning specialist or a psychologist. I was tested once in high school, and then again before I entered college (they have to be repeated every 3 years to keep them current). The testing I had in high school confirmed that I have a learning disability that causes me to have slow processing, meaning that it takes me longer to read, complete exams, do math problems, etc. The second set of testing I had showed the same. So, as was the case in high school, I get extended timing (time and a half) on exams to compensate for my disability.
I would definitely recommend looking into getting tested for this, or some other type of learning disability.
Hope some of this was helpful!

It only happens in math, but it's worth looking into I suppose.
