Questions

I was told at secondary school (about 30 years ago!) that I was dyslexic. I’ve always struggled but worked my way up at work. Now I need to take an exam and I am struggling to pass. I do not have proof that I am dyslexic, so I am not allowed any extra time or support. Please can you help?
