[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids have ADHD, but my second has never been formally diagnosed or medicated, because she's also a good student and has so far done well in school. However, she is now going to take AP exams, and wants 5s. Her grade in math every year has always hovered at 92%, entirely due to inattentive mistakes, like confusing the x axis with the y axis, or writing a minus when she meant to write a plus sign. She has no trouble with understanding the concepts or any of the steps to show her work. Sometimes her answer is correct, but the teacher points out that it's only because she made TWO inattention mistakes that cancelled each other out! :-) Do you think she could get a 5 on her AP Calc exam in these circumstances? Would you medicate this type of ADHD? Thank you for your perspective. I know it seems minor, but my kid really wants to do well in school. [/quote]
