Has anyone been given 25% extra time for exams (GCSEs or A levels)?

[QUOTE="Little_Lucy, post: 1975928, member: 247426"] Hi, I am currently taking my GCSE’s and i tend to get pretty bad hypos too as well as highs during exam time. I have ‘stopping the clock’ which is very useful as if I ever need to test my blood sugar I can stop when ever I like for however long I need. I do feel however that the exam invigilators may not understand my actual need to stop for 20 minutes however I think it would end up fine. I think this is better than having extra time because when I am low I cannot concentrate on anything and exam extra time may only be an extra 10 minutes which is less than what I’d need. I think if you are to ask the school I would have a doctor note just in case, I myself didn’t need one but you never know. I also take my exams in a separate room which I do feel is necessary in not bothering any one else if I do need to test and honestly it is a benefit as the smaller rooms tend to be less stressful and less intermediating, so if I were you I’d ask about that too. Hope this helps [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
