@476.rizeq So let me start with an interesting introduction: I didn't receive an email nor was my former tutor aware that there was going to be an experimental in the Sep 2016. My accommodation letter did not state that I was going to have an experimental nor were the proctors aware (When I called to confirm last week they reiterated that there would be no experimental) until the day before. So imagine walking in 15 minutes before your exam with a surprise like this.
The exam itself was not difficult in terms of the questions, but after studying for 3 months without an experimental you have to improvise. Consequently, by the end of the exam you're just drained. In many Discussions I often read folks say how accommodated students have it easy without the experimental and that it's unfair. What they overlook is that sitting there for 6 hours is very difficult, expecially if you have a cognitive disability. No amount of coffee or Redbull is going to help you after a certain point.
I was also in a classroom with a motion detector so the lights would go out every now and then. That was kind of obnoxious, though not so much as having to improvise for an extra section. My proctor was nice enough to give me some 30 extra seconds to relax after section 4, though considering how tired I was it didn't do much. I did OK on the last section though I know I could've done better.
All in all, survived. Sending a letter of complaint. Looking forward to December.
