Kids with ADHD must squirm to learn, study says

To be clear. I am not talking about school school, when students are children. I only care about university, or massive statewide just prior-to-university exams. Adult and child learning are different beasts.

I don't disagree with making some changes to improve testing methods. But I do not agree with, in the week leading up to the exam, asking to listen to MUSIC during it. That is not a level playing field for other students. It is not what is being tested, nor how. If exams are not the best way to get the best performance from all students, then change the assessment method. If they are broadly fair, then let the best candidate shine through.

It is important that we test people in the best ways possible to reflect their skillset. Exams are a flat testing field. Just like the olympics.

Also, after 7 years of tertiary education, you better be damn close to being able to perform to the standard expected of your work environment. And if a barrister wanted to listen to music in court to help him think or concentrate, he WOULD be a shitty barrister. I don't care how well it helps him. Some mental disability (not LEARNING disabilities) are not conducive to high pressure high intensity professions and education. I'm glad your student with dyslexia, or similar, is able to be a doctor, but she probably isn't autistic where she needs to hum to herself or rock to keep calm, is she? (Because if she is, I'm seriously alarmed)

Did your brother get a lot of accommodations during exams at university? Or did he learn how to cope and adjust prior to and during his university education? Most importantly, did he get special consideration for sitting the BAR exam? because I know it is notoriously difficult to get for at least the California exam. They treat that exam as VERY flat and come as you are.
