If English is not your first language, that alone can interfere with you SHOWING that you know the material well.

Back in the dark ages, I was a tutor for the last year of nursing school. I had many Thai, Vietnamese and Phillipina girls in my little get togethers, and it hit me they KNEW their stuff but the language barrier exaggerated their 'mistakes' on paper.

I spoke to a professor about this and she got very interested in bringing this issue forward. If I remember correctly, she wanted to treat ESL as a kind of 'disability' (that sounds worse than she meant it), which needed accommodation of some kind as we might provide accommodations for other 'disabilities'. I don't know what ever came of that, I graduated!

I don't have any answers, but I have direct experience of people who know their stuff and SHOULD have no problem passing the boards, but the written English made for a barrier of sorts.
