Unfortunately, on the day of taking the BMAT I was shocked to be informed that the exam invigilators were unaware of the extra time that I had been given as a result of my dyslexia.
I had sat the exam the previous year and had extra time, achieving a good result that I felt reflected my aptitude well.Unfortunately I had to drop out of school that year for health reasons and I am currently sitting year 13 to complete my A levels.
However, this year I was panicked by the prospect of having to sit the exam with less time than I needed, and was interrupted throughout sitting the test with updates on whether I would get my extra time or not. I was devastated coming out of the test, knowing that my performance had been inhibited. And my fears were realised yesterday by a disappointing BMAT result. After being offered interview last year from UCL, I am worried that this year I will fall short of this opportunity.
But I will come back fighting! If I don't achieve a place in the next year I will keep trying until my dream is fulfilled.
