Out of curiosity. Are there articles or some specialist in Learning and disorders? I mean, when I read about OCD, Neurosciences, and anything related to tests and scores. Sometimes I wonder if exams could be biased in the sense that the way questions are phrased or the order could be of any statistical relevance when you want to compare ppl under a normal group and ppl under some specific disorder group.

For ex: some questions about literature can have drawins or pictures, what if a certain group have more advanced or less advanced skills in understading pictures? Now suppose the teacher makes a whole exam where all questions have pictures. What if some student gets a zero score because he or she has some difficulty in understading pictures?

Hello Portal: I'm sorry I don't know anything about any of this. (Perhaps other PC members will yet have some thoughts they'll wish to share.) However I see this is still just your second post here on PC. So I thought it was not too late to say welcome to Psych Central. I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Are you talking about public school like high school or college?

Each school has their own ADA (disability) services offered, and the change how a student is taught and tested (example: more time on tests or more material to study than other students) in order to determine your best course of action, I recommend you contact your school's counseling department and see what they can do for you.
