Statistics - Timed Quizzes

[phoenixnim]

I'm an older student and my brain seems to need more time to process numbers/formulas properly for Statisitics. I'm getting 100% on homework assignments, then totally bombing out on the quizzes when they are only a one hour timed quiz. I've gotten A's on the 1.5-2 hours quizzes, but I have gotten 2 D's on 2 only 1 hour timed quizzes.

I don't think it has to do with not understanding the material. I feel that I do, because I am easily able to see where I went wrong once I get the quiz back. I think I'm just a slow processor. :-/ I barely finish in time for the hour timed quizzes, and that is with rushing through, and obviously no time to go back and check over work. I'm not able to spend the time I need on each problem, making sure my logic is correct.

I'm not sure what to do about this. I do suffer from fibromyalgia and the brain fog I battle through a lot, but I'm wondering if that has something to do with this. When I'm able to take my time and really evaluate the problem I do just fine!

*sighs*

Any suggestions?

I would look contact your schools department that handles student accomodations and they may be able to give you more time for testing. I'm not sure of the steps that you would need to take but they would be able to walk you through them.

Does your professor announce the class average for each test/quiz? Maybe you could ask them because maybe the whole class did horribly on the hour quizzes?

Does your prof give practice quizzes? I found it helpful to retake them a few times to get the timing down.

Good day:

I agree with kaydensmom01. Contact your school to see if they can provide some form of accommodation.

Thank you.
