Extra time for test in April......

Extended Time
I’m requesting extra time for my upcoming exam. I’m an adderall user, and I’ve been using the medication for 6 years. My doctor prescribed the medication when I started taking classes in a Masters program. I struggle with concentration and focusing. Once I finished my coursework my doctor kept me on the medication because it helped me complete tasks in my home and at work throughout the day. Recently I lost both of my parents, 4 months apart. The grief has affected me, and I’m struggling with my focus in the worse way, it has compounded the focusing issues that already exist. If it is possible, I’m requesting extra time on exam day, and I’m assuming the testing center will make sure the environment in quiet. If necessary I can get a letter from my doctor.
