Learning disabilities questions

I'm going to come at this as a community college instructor that had accommodations sheets for students every semester for 18 years. First of all, it's common. Second of all, your instructor will always err on the side of over-documenting because if it comes down to it, the school will back you- not the instructor. It's a complicated situation for the instructor to be in, and if I can be frank, the instructor will fear that you can destroy his career, not have concern for your success. In my classrooms, I've been 101% compliant with every-single-request, above and beyond actually. Now, that I've said that....

You're not in high school any more. You've made it out of highschool, exactly what the IEP was intended to do. Now, you're an adult. You make the call, not the school. Schools can't help people who don't self identify, so no one is going to chase you down.

You're on a forum that focuses on testing out of college. A place where we all believe that we can -on our own- make it through college with little to no assistance from the college. In fact, many of us see the "college process" as a barrier to our success, so we go around it as quickly as possible; being more efficient than what the college can do for us. So, do you see yourself as someone capable of doing this, or as someone needing extra help? If you need resources, they exist.

I'm not sure if you see the irony in asking for accommodations on a CLEP exam.
