Thanks for bringing this up. I nearly failed out of college before getting accommodations for anxiety. I was a physics major and was solid with math, but sitting down to take a test I’d forget how the most basic properties of multiplication and exponentiation worked. Once I started being able to do untimed take home tests (due to accommodations) I started doing well. With the pressure off I was also able to finish the tests much more quickly than before.
