Same. If anything, I hyperfocus like a machine and get my tests done in one third of the time. I thrive when there's pressure.

But I would have become a biologist had I been given accomodation on learning things by heart, like hundreds of species names. It's the sort of information that just runs through me as my brain won't hold on to it for more than an hour. I've deviced all sorts of coping mechanisms for this like rehearsing key points of a test just minutes before so I can enter some of these factoids into my answers that otherwise clearly show I've understood and can apply the information very well, I just struggle with the jargon, terms, dates etc.

Also I do need more time in preparing for tests, I need to fully understand a thing before I can give answers on it. I can't just read stuff and parrot it in a test, because it won't be there in my head without an understanding of the whole. This is why I get called a perfectionist, but getting there is actually pretty taxing every time. I can't just wing it.
