Questions

uneditted: recently i have gotten a comment asking me some questions i hope that this post can answer some if not all of those questions. the first question was what i am going to do about the ACt and the SAT. because i am a sophmore i have not yet taken ether test but i have taken the plan and the psat on bouth tests there were no essays so i diddent have any problems they were all bubbles excpt for a few of the math questions witch leads to the next question they asked they asked if dysgraphia affected me in math it does not for the most part the only problem i have is small and now only happenes occashonaly witch is  i switch my 9's and p's because when i hand write they look simlar i also occoshonally will mix up x and y because they are also simmlar when i hand write i will extend the short arm of the y and it will look like an x then i will add the x's togher and it will skew the answer other than the occashonal messup i do very well in math. the accomdations i have felt are useful are being able to use my phone to type on because on spell check. i also find it useful to have one or two friends around that can help me when i need it but i believe the most helpful thing of all is editing it with my mom when ever she edits something i am right there so i can try to learn from my mistakes it doesnt help all the time but when a test comes i will always remember her comments on any grammer or spelling issue i have had in the past. they also asked how i print my work at school the answer for that is easy i dont my phone is a smart phone and has internet so i will check my work for spelling ask my friend to check my grammer and then email the work to my teacher. i hope this post has answered your questions if you have any more please ask i love being able to answer the questions for once instead of being the one asking them.

Edited: Recently, I have gotten a comment asking me some questions. I hope that this post can answer some, if not all, of those questions. The first question was, what am I going to do about the ACT and the SAT?  Because I am a sophomore, I have not yet taken either test, but I have taken the PLAN and the PSAT. On both tests, there were no essays so I didn't have any problems. They were all bubbles except for a few of the math questions. Which leads to the next question they asked. They asked if dysgraphia affected me in math. It does not for the most part. The only problem I have is small, and now only happens occasionally, which is I switch my 9's and p's because when I hand write, they look similar. I also occasionally will mix up x and y because they are also similar when I hand write. I will extend the short arm of the y and it will look like an x then I will add the x's together, and it will skew the answer. Other than the occasional mess-up, I do very well in math. The accommodations I have felt are useful are being able to use my phone to type notes or assignments on because of spell check. I also find it useful to have one or two friends around that can help me when I need it. But I believe the most helpful thing of all is editing it with my Mom. Whenever she edits something, I am right there so I can try to learn from my mistakes. It doesn't help all the time, but when a test comes I will always remember her comments on any grammar or spelling issue I have had in the past. They also asked how I print my work at school. The answer for that is easy, I don't. My phone is a smart phone and has internet. So I will check my work for spelling, ask my friend to check my grammar, and then e-mail the work to my teacher. I hope this post has answered your questions. If you have any more, please ask. I love being able to answer the questions for once, instead of being the one asking them.

  1. Have you looked into the spellcheck Ghotit? ("Got it!") It finds creative spellings WAY better than default spell checkers. You also get short definitions to find out if you mean "rain" as "water falling from the sky," or "rain" as "the period of time that a king/queen rules." It isn't 100%, but it sure is about 80%.
