Heya, I am in my third year at university now and hopefully going on to study a masters. I study politics so I have so much reading and so many concepts to get hold of its crazy (and has reduced me to tears many times!) The things I have found most useful for helping me at university (mostly, i have only found reccently) is Natural Reader and the read and write softwere.
Natural reader reads any highlightable PDF out for you, or any highlightable text.
Read and Write allows you to scan in books (using a pinter/scanner) and have them read out to you. I think this also has a reading program but I have just got it so I am still figuring things out. I bought the natural reader myself but got read and write from the university student support.
I know its alot of money, but seriously get an assessment. Have you contacted the open university about your problems? They usually offer assesments themselves. I didn't have to pay for my assessment in the end, it was meant to be £250, I have no idea why but it seemed student finance covered the costs. Seriously, do it, every university offers student support and it means you can get assess to advice on your situation and its means you don't have to fork out for the above things yourself.
Whatever you do, please don't suffer in silence like I did in my first year!
Hope some of this helps,
Lara
