DD has ADHD, with associated executive function issues and poor working memory.
She has a mock exam for the ICT short course iGCSE when she goes back to school next week, with the real exam in May.
I've been helping her revise over the last couple of weeks, using websites, last papers, revision text book, notes the school have provided; basically, anything and everything I can find.
However, she just isn't retaining anything. If I ask her a question, she flounders and says she knows the answer but just doesn't know how to say it. The truth is, she doesn't know it, or at least, she can't retrieve the correct information; she'll throw out a word connected to the topic but it could be any word.
I am tearing my hair out and just don't know what to do to help her. There is a real chance she could fail, which isn't a huge deal in itself but doesnt bode well for the next couple of years. We had the same experience in last year's end of year exams; I spent hours and hours helping her with maths but she only got 52% in each paper.
Any suggestions?
