I was tested once when I was 10 and another time when I was 12, and both times the proctor just sat me down in a room and told me to click on the screen whenever a 2 and not click when a 1 appeared. I was also being tested for gifted the first time and situational depression the second time, so I think there might have been some adhd-related tests put into those, but both times adhd came out negative with flying colors. However, there were no distractions in the room both times and I was also under the mentality that I was being tested. I have always had a hard time concentrating and CAN control it, but it takes a great deal of work and exhausts me. I also find myself pacing often especially when I’m talking to someone on the phone or have a lot of thoughts at once. My parents just take the test for what it’s worth and don’t listen to me, but I really think I need medicine for it. I have always had this problem, but any stress whatsoever takes away alot of motivation for me, and I end up not studying as much as I’d like to. When I was younger and had less going on I was able to cope with it alot better, but now I feel like I’m wasting time. I still usually ace tests because I’m a good listener, but homework takes me hours to finish an assignment that should take maybe 30 minutes because of side-tracking. Help!! what do I do?
