Hi all, kindly need your help in planning my next move with the exam
I took my exam a week ago and have been studying for roughly a year without major breaks. My score is 660 Q31 (37%) V49 (98%) and canceled it. My target score is 700.
Regarding the verbal, I have no complaints and I don't think it was a fluke, since I answered all of the questions with confidence.
The quant section, however, is a completely different story:
I have numerical dyslexia and severe ADHD, which means I have some trouble in numerical operations, eg no matter how hard I try, I cannot memorize even simple 1-digit multiplication. Randomly ask me what \(7*8\) is and I will pull out a pen-and-paper and start counting. This is obviously bad for the Quant section, even though I have no trouble with the actual material; I've done the Official Guide and the OGreviews with no trouble, considering I often use calculators/extra time anyway.
In any case, I know that GMAC offers some leniency for disabled test-takers. However, from what I can gather, the process is long and tenuous, with no guarantee that they'll consider my case. For the record, I also lack a major paper trail (doctor's diagnosis) since I have just been diagnosed a few years back, and my first doctor actually didn't give me a written diagnosis, only verbal.
A bit of background, I hold a bachelor's in pure maths from my country's best engineering school and I currently work as a software engineer at a local hedge fund. These facts actually suggest that I have no trouble in quant reasoning per se but I do need my calculators and/or some extra time.
Is there any tips for my case on the GMAT? Is there someone that has successfully made a case with GMAC about their disability?
I'm also retaking the test in two weeks so wish me luck!

Hi TheRevanchist.
People who have learning and attention issues are able to get GMAT accommodations, and the process is fairly reasonable from what I understand.
For more information, see this post.
