[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has ADHD and gets extra time. Even with the extra time, she finds multiple test choices confusing and because she is very impulsive often misses key details and chooses wrong answers even though she knows the material. She rarely does well on standardized tests even though she is bright and does well in most subjects.

We do not foresee a future for her that involves standardized tests in the workplace or other assessments. She’s very good with visual/spatial and has great energy and people skills. We are very confident she will succeed professionally. She has already learned from part time jobs that showing up on time, doing what you’re asked, and being nice to people are skills she has that not everyone possesses. [/quote]

My daughter has issues similar to yours. She has a language processing disorder and often can’t discern what the question is asking. Multiple choice tests are very hard for her. Yet she is very smart and has worked so hard for years, for absolutely each of her achievements. I am much more proud of her than I would be of a snarky straight A kid to whom everything has come easily.[/quote]
