I'm a long way away in Australia. But I've seen your problem in others and I've experienced it myself. I guess I was lucky, I was able to have a career, or three, but literacy issues very much limited my career paths.

There's lots of assistive technology. I hope you're into that. Out here we have a Disability Discrimination Legal Service, a Disability Discrimination Act, and Human Rights and Equal Opportunity legislation. The examiners should allow you to have your examination read to you, and you give oral answers, OR allow you to use assistive technology for your exams. If they refuse, or have refused, these reasonable requests, you should be looking for whatever form your Disability Discrimination Legal Service comes in. Google the keywords: disability discrimination; disability discrimination legal service; and Human Rights and Equal Opportunity. Take all the help and advice you can get -- and act on it.

Good luck. Better still, make your own luck.
