Try getting a reader for your text through the tutoring service. Then you can
just listen to the book and concentrate on the text and not the reading. Also,
the day before the test, make a 2 x 2 inch piece of paper. Write as much as you
can on the paper. (DO NOT take this paper into your test) For some reason, the
process of writing it all down on this little paper helps me retain it all.
WEIRD but it works for me. Also remember that most of the successful people in
the world were "C" students. Many of them never made it through high school -
let alone college. Look up the Fortune Magazine article from May 13, 2002
called Overcoming Dyslexia. It discusses the hardships of Richard Branson
(Virgin Records and Virgin Air), Charles Schwab (Financial Planner), Craig
McCaw (pioneered cellular industry) John Reed (Citibank) and many others very
successful people. So don't get down and just keep plugging along. Grades
are not everything - the will to make something of yourself
is.

Yesterday I got back my humanities test in class I did ok, but not
good. I am very mad about the grade I got on the test, I could have
done much better. The test was read to me and I had the extra time
for the test as well. My main problem seems to be my reading
comprehension and trying to remember things that I need to know for
the test. This week I started working with a tutor and so far it is
going good. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can handle this
situation any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks

Trish
