GMAT Strategy

I'll be happy to answer any question.

Students should keep in mind that for accommodations on GMAT a person has to have a disability per the DSM IV psychiatric manuel, meaning, ADHD, a reading disability, writing disability, or "non specifice learning disability (that's also a category) PLUS meet disabilitity criteria of the Americans for Disabilities Act, meaning a person has to show "significant impairment" in at at least two areas of life's functioning: school, social situations or at work..

Here is where you need someone who knows how to interview properly to get at all the information for these disability evaluations.

do you think a leter from a surgeron will be sufficient to allow for extra time due to multipple surgeries in arm/shoulder/elbow

I don't think a letter from a doctor will be enough unless you have the kind of problem i in which your writing arm is immobilized completely.

A letter is necessarily but should not discusss extra time or the like, just functional limitations based on the orthopedic problem.

An evaluation will expand on it by testing writing speed and eye hand coordination and discussing how that will affect your ability to take the test plus a full history and battery of tests. just go to someone who knows what he's doing.
