Yes, perhaps I did. I’m actually dyslexic and find learning lots of information quite hard. You know, I never read any of the books for English and still managed to write coherent and reasonable essays. Is this the right way to work? Definetly not; I was only diagnosed with dyslexia when I was in my last year of my undergraduate degree, I used to think I was just a bit stupid when it came to reading. But I had the intelligence to be able to listen to people during my school days and re-interpret things to make arguments in history, English and the such. My recommendation is don’t blag things, if you have trouble ask for help, even if this is done quietly and out of the classroom. Most good teachers will want to help you, even if they seem like a bit of a tyrant during class!
