...slightly dyslexic/having discalcular? I'm overall a pretty clever lad and if I get through the next month or so unscaved at uni then I could end up with a 2:1 which would be great for me.

The form for the 'retail managment' position I'm applying for though says "Are you aware of any health problem or disability which may affect your ability to do the job?" but I'm worried they won't take me as seriously if I put 'yes'. On the other hand they may take me on as it's the PC thing to do.

I reckon if I put 'no' no one would ever really no anyway as people are usually really suprised when I tell them.
 
Have you been medically diagnosed? Did you get a statement of educational need as a result? If so you will have been entitled to 25% extra time in every exam you have ever taken including University finals.
Just a thought.
 
From the form. Reckon these are the best answers?...

* Click on the first button if you strongly disagree with the statement
* Click on the second button if you disagree with the statement
* Click on the middle button if you neither agree nor disagree with the statement
* Click on the fourth button if you agree with the statement
* Click on the fifth button if you strongly agree with the statement


1. If somebody is fed up, I am usually the one who cheers them up.


2. I do not need others to tell me how well I am doing.


3. I insist on working in a methodical way.


4. I can usually decide what needs to be done without listening to other people’s views.


5. I am very straight with people, even if it sometimes challenges them.


6. I feel calm, even when others are panicking.


7. I often let a point go rather than asserting myself.


8. If I am wrong, I admit it straight away.

1 strongly agree
2 Strongly disagree
3 in between
4 disagree
5 Strongly agree
6 Strongly agree
7 Strongly disagree
8 Strongly agree
