[QUOTE="I’m a celebrity get me out of here - VS/TC edn, post: 241021, member: 43804"] This is terribly relatable. I myself totally understand this feeling. In group tasks I always feel left behind or that others were given extra information as to why they were able to jump right into it so fast. Group tasks - when you start it just day to your group “hey it takes me a little longer to process information so can we slow it down a bit” this shows that you have made the team aware of the adjustments you need at the first point, you are paying attention but also processing and it also directs in your group how they handle this. If they are supportive and bring you into the discussions that works well on their part but also your part as your given a stage to speak. If they’re dismissive and do not include you OR move on too fast GR will pick up on this and it will not be inclusive that can be a detriment other performance. 9/10 others in the group will understand and will be supportive I’ve experienced this before and ask those in my group task got the VS and we were praised at hope inclusive we were. Also GR gave is 10 mins extra prep so that I could get up to speed with the others. I do agree that written tasks can be a time crunch. I have good grades but I’ve failed an AC before due to how stringent the time was for the written task. I don’t have much advice on this as I’m still battling this area myself. I did Willkie WE a few days ago and I was given extra time and I used it all even though they said it wouldn’t be necessary to use it all given the task. Just having 10 minutes after I’ve done the task to check that I’ve followed the instructions correctly read all the instructions and not missed out any information was soo helpful. I’d recommend asking for 30% if you can those extra minutes will make a difference. Lastly, keep your head up. Do not let your dyslexia define you. You made it to AC that’s far better than me this cycle😭 keep on pushing and don’t think about not completing the task it is important to have a positive mindset. [/QUOTE]
