Pax exam, special accommodations

[Blance2]

I am scheduled to take my PAX on April 20th, Does anyone know how I can get special accommodations to be able to use a calculator on the PAX/RN exam? I already have accommodations for a longer time as well as being put in a quiet room, but I need a calculator as well....any advice? Has anyone ever been permitted to use one and if so how did you go about it? Thanks in advance

No I never had any problems in high school, it all started in college with "timed tests" I needed extra time...which I would be granted, but then I wouldn't end up needing to use it. I'm sure it's a mental thing but I just want every chance for success with this test.

I don't have dyscalculia, my GPA is 3.9, I only wanted a calculator to make sure I answered all the questions in time, hopefully I will be granted extra time which will solve my main problem, thank you for explaining it to me. My other question is.....is there a limit to the amount of scratch paper you're permitted to have?

These two posts indicate that there is no disability involved. It wasn't until after people reacted badly that OP claimed to have an anxiety disorder, which, forgive me, but everyone and their dog seems to have these days. Anxiety disorders are real, but I think a lot of people also just don't like dealing with the realities of adult life (and their upbringing hasn't equipped them for same), and so suddenly they have an anxiety disorder diagnosed in college.
