@wanderlustgal Your post made my day 
Thanks for defending me and congratulating my efforts. Good luck on your own standardized test and future endeavors.
@intparent I realize that is within the rules to do so and I wouldn’t look down on anyone who genuinely used it, but I personally wouldn’t feel validated with it. I was diagnosed back in middle school and my teachers even told the principal to put me in extended time for standardized tests, but I refused.
“He is quite proud of not requesting the extra time…”
Not particularly. In regards to the SAT, my biggest pride is neither using standard time nor the solid score I got. Rather, my biggest pride is in the efforts I put in, as I hadn’t worked so hard on any test previously. I think nostalgically of waking up at 6:00 to do practice tests, not learning my score.
