Perhaps it is not really that you think it is comical how people start writing their answers so quickly ..but are really jealous that you cannot do the same? If you seriously have a problem with speed of writing and this is directly related to your disability, then you could have been assessed and given additional time to compensate. I think it is a combination of the fact that you have to disect every question, theory etc AND are not able to write quickly (or TBH coherantly at times!!) You can only do your best - do not look round the room at others..what goes on your paper is what is important!I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes

It's really not. If you're judged intelligent enough to be accepted onto a degree level course then you should really be aiming for no less than a 2:1.0 -

2:2 is standard/ average mark rather than 2.1 to be fair.
Sometimes on a course you find it is not for you as you first thought so in that case a pass is an achievement.:beer:0 -

But phil, you've said that you've got 2.1s and 2.2s on your essays/modules so far. So you are clearly capable of more than just a pass!0 -

I make no secret of the fact that a lot of the time I am out of my depth with things on my course. Then when I see people being able to write 3 times more quickly than me, I know that I do not fit in at all and I should not be there.:beer:0 -

A 2:2 might be an average mark.
People get marks lower than this because of sloth, not because they lack academic ability.0 -
