Thanks very much for that info, i am still waiting for a reply from my exam administrator, which is getting me a bit worried, but hopefully will hear from her soon! i really should have said something sooner, but i guess better late than never :s
thanks again, will keep you posted, with hopefully good news!
I know from teaching students with learning disabilities and other such illnesses, that if you present the diagnosis - from your doctor, on his/her letterhead - with the explanation of the types of accommodations you might need, the school HAS to take this into account. So make sure the doctor specifies this in the letter.
