Extra Time?

by srfn » Fri Aug 15, 2014 1:43 pm
Hello - I was advised on a different section of these forums that this question would be better fitting over here.

So I've never been diagnosed with any medical condition recognized by the GMAC (I've never been to a doctor for a diagnosis), but I do think I might have some sort of ADD based on what I've read online. What's the best way to go about seeing a doctor that could evaluate me to let me know if I qualify for 50%-100% of extra time on the GMAT? How hard is it to qualify? Is there one specific doctor I could go see for a quick evaluation and recommendation, should they have one? Does the fact that I've never been diagnosed really hurt my chances of getting any type of extra time, even if I've never been to a doctor?

I've searched around online and have found widely varying answers, hoping someone here has good knowledge/experience to share.

Thanks
