It's not likely I'm dyslexic, is it?

I posted on here recently (chat probably) about struggling being able to proof read my essays, I struggle with grammar, spelling and generally proof reading despite buying books in grammar using spell check and carefully and slowly proof reading.

I contacted my uni and my local Fb page as a call out for a proof reader as clearly I'm useless.

I lost marks constantly during my last degree and came out with a bare 2:2

The uni doesn't provide a service, just one for students who's first language isn't English but I found loads of people willing to be paid via Fb.

The head of health science has asked me to a dyslexia test (which I already completed 7 months ago) and I told her it said I was borderline.

Now I'm in a tangle trying to figure out a time to take an actual test.
I will do it but I feel like it's massive waste of time.

Surely I can't have got this far in life not knowing I'm dyslexic? I'm 34.

On the other hand it was asking me questions that are fitting for me, unable to follow written instructions, inability to sit still, very fidgity and some other things.

All nothing to do with spelling and grammar Hmm

Any insight I'd be grateful for.

DSA still exist, but is reduced as the institution is now excepted to provide some of the support. However it can still fund software and things like specialist tuition.
