My son is resitting an exam at 14:30. He is very clever but falls apart in exams and rarely finishes them - he gets extra time and is certified as a slow writer.

I don't really want to go into all that.

Instead, can I please ask you to will him on, to find the answers and finish the paper? Please just ask the universe to give him and his confidence a break!

14:30 and it goes on for 2.5 hours!

Thank you! I am at the other end of the country and I am feeling utterly powerless.

Thinking of your boy here too Yarboo.
Visualising a calm clear mind for him, buckets of inner confidence and lots of focus.

Good luck to him.

You can get extra time for being a slow writer?

You learn something new everyday!

It is not slow writing as in not being quick, it is a processing issue - brain spiraling and hand not able to operate. It is a significant issue and I had not heard of it. To compound matters, he has "lost" time in exams - 30 mins can pass and he experiences it as 30 seconds. It is very strange, I know, but after rigorous testing, it is real.

Thank you for the added positive vibes! He is 30 mins in now. I am going to go and get him something nice for dinner for when he eventually get home tonight.

Hope I can drive with everything crossed!

When will he get his results?

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 29/08/2019 15:23

Come on. You can do this!

Yarboosucks · 29/08/2019 18:31

Well, it is done! Better than last time, but still ran out of time. He is not telling much more. Results in 2 weeks.

Thank you for the positive vibes.... Let's hope they worked!
