GCSE's and school

Hey

My daughter is 14 and is now in year 10 starting to get ready for all the GCSE learning. She is currently being tested for Autism and I know it is a lengthy process.

She does very well at school getting high marks, but, now that they are doing all the tests and getting the kids used to timed tests, she is really struggling. 

She says that she worries so much about how much time she has that she does not do great. Last test she only managed to answer 4 questions. She says she finds it hard to read the questions when being timed.

I am worried that this will affect her actual GCSE's. Do you all have any suggestions I am really worried for her. She is really worrying about it too.

Thanks

  • I don't know if its the same for GCSE's but at Uni we were told that it was better to answer most of the questions partially and as many as you can fully. It shows your thinking process and gives the examiner a better idea of who you are as a learner than lots of unanswered questions
