Hi there Maricela. I have completed my degree in medical psych and would like to share with you how I managed to navigate MCQ. The trick first is to understand the underlying neurological principals that are responsible for the symptomatic affects of the dyslexic learning style. I'll send this on to your e-mail if you don't mind. In terms of the multiple choice issue, what works for me is this:
1. get a scrap piece of paper and cut out a window which is the same width and bredth as the answer grid. Place the grid over the answer that you are working on, so your eyes are only focusing on the one line of options. This prevents you from placing the anser for question 1 in the scale for question two (line skipping)
3. Make another stencle for your question paper, and place the setncle over each option and consider it in isolation, decide if it is correct or not before moving to the next option.Prevents confusion and info overload.
Worked for me, but you need to be innovative in comming up with a system that suits you!

here is an idea
1. cover the answers to the question...do not look at them! no peeking ;D
2. read the question
3. come up with the answer in your head
4.find the correct answer letter, say it is 1 B.
5.put your finger on 1 B. (keep it there)
6. now go to the bubble sheet and put your finger on 1 B. and check to make sure you have 1 B. on both the question sheet and the bubble sheet
7. now color in the 1 B. bubble
8. think of it as a game and it will be fun
9. this helps you destress

at first it may seem slow, but i have gotten really fast going through my exams this way and getting very high scores
;D
