I've never been evaluated but I don't think test anxiety fits in my case - the speed issue was only ever in math / physics.
My accuracy on the questions I got to was very high, I just couldn't go fast enough to complete enough questions. Same deal on SAT type math papers too.
- alimw 9y agoWhere I did my undergraduate degree they squared the marks scored for each question before adding them up! Slow but accurate was an advantage.
- xfer 9y agoBut, most exams at that level gives enough time to make them accurate.

- MengerSponge 9y agoDifferent tests challenge people differently. It may be that you only needed an accommodation in computationally heavy exams.* Truthfully, my mention of accommodations isn't for you--I'm assuming you're out of high school already and you've found a professional niche that works for you. I mention test anxiety and the professional workarounds for high schoolers or their parents. *) This is actually moving well beyond my expertise. I know about the existence of test anxiety, and I've accommodated students with it. A brief consult with Dr. Google surfaced some clinically recommended accommodations that probably would have helped you.

This one's my favorite: "Reducing the number of tasks required to demonstrate competence (such as 5 math problems instead of 25)"
