I got a test for DRP and GWE. DRP is Degree Reading Power need pass 56 score. GWE need pass 3 points. That I will take GSR classes.

I fail for DRP was 51 score. I am closed. Why? Because most of word that I not know what this word mean. I had a problem.

So, I went home. I check and see my grade and saw I'm dismess. I am so worried and stress alot. I prayed and ask God for help me. God helped alot. I am better now. I saw my vision (prophecy) on my dream and mind too. I feel that I will go back to Gallaudet. I don't feel that if I go other college. I don't feel!

So, I re-admission to fill it. I finish send mail and I forgot to do recommedation of letter. My teachers were done and I send fax. I hopeful to hear when Gallaudet e mail me when they accept me.

Please pray for me. I don't know what is wrong with my reading. !

"academically suspended"

When you are writing, make use of the Writer's Reference Guide that your country uses. When I attended university in Edmonton, I was always consulting the Canadian Writer's Reference Guide. Get the latest copy available. Also, one night, you should devote some time to read the dictionary. It is incredibly boring, but I know a lot of college students, who are hearing, who have done this to improve their reading and writing skills. Reading a lot of fictional novels that are deemed as classics will also help as well. Some of the stuff coming out lately are not that fabulous or famous for proper grammar.

The advices above would be ones that are recommended to ANYONE. Someone who have actually went through the Gallaudet red-tape would probably be better suited to help you more more.

I will go Learning Disability, because I have problem with reading. I have to find out what went wrong.

When I got homework. I reading the book and I understand what I read book talk about. And I do write down the question and answer. I finish it. I gave to my teacher. She gave me, I got many wrong answer. I feel not understand and went wrong with me. I go to MHC and she think me need to take LD.

I got 91 IQ. But she told me. This paper say that there is not enough deaf culture. I am upset with Dr. Peter was wrong. He might know about deaf culture. I don't have money for MHC that she give me LD test.

I love Math very much! I tried and hard. My teacher not allow to use dictionary for DRP test. I not know word enough well.

souggy

IQ doesn't matter. Far I am concerned. You are normal.

I wasn't suggesting using a dictionary during your exam, I was recommending actually sitting down and read through the dictionary. It will be a very dry read, but it will benefit you a lot and a lot of people do it anyway. I don't know if ALL of them do, but I know a lot of students have read through their dictionary once or twice in their academic career.

You don't seem to have a learning disability, just ASL-orientated, and probably need more exposure to English literature. However I don't know you real life, so I can't make that call. I can sympathise with you though since from time to time, my writing will show either Germanic or ASL structure. Most particularly Plautdietsch grammar with ASL transitions. I always forget that ASL handles transitions better than English. Just keep at it, and hopefully other people can chime in and help you out.

Meanwhile, just read a lot and rule out learning disability.

"academically suspended" sounds like you are not allowed to study again for one academic year?

ScottW, maybe you started off to strong in your classes and the school should have tested you for placement. I am hearing and my English was awful. When I went to college I had to take college-prep courses just so I could get into English 101. You need to talk to your advisor and maybe he/she can help get you tested for a learning disability.

scottw

Wrong!

scottw

yes, I need to take learning disability test. Then I didn't make back to Gallaudet University this fall. Committee want me other college to complete the english. I understand. So, I called my old teacher ask for help. She with me one on one for private student and study alot. She agree with me.

scottw - hang in there. do take prep courses. most colleges are very forgiving and helpful in getting first-year students acquainted to college-level but you need to be assertive about it. many students who enter college have many different educational levels so it is normal for first-year students to have a rough start.

You can go back after 1 semester so first thing to do is to focus on strategy studying as it is so important. Strategy studying will help you to delegate time so you will not be overwhelmed.

Talk with the disability students office ASAP! Don't delay because if you delay any longer, it makes things a bit tougher for you and the office with paperwork and forms.

You can go back after Christmas for the second semester or the January quarter. I get confused between Gallaudet as they have semesters and NTID as they have quarters.

Hang in there as you are doing just fine, just a little hiccup is all!

No, I meant that the reason they did not allow you to have your dictionary with you during the test could be because using a dictionary could be considered cheating, unless you have set up something beforehand with disability services and the person (professor/teacher) who would be administering the test so that you would be allowed additional accommodations for the tests such as allowing a textbook (in you case, dictionary) or your notes or use of a computer or extra time or taking the test in a quiet room or having someone write on the test all your answers for you if you have difficulties with motor skills (handwriting) or writing or reading or spelling because of a learning disability or whatever (like you tell/sign/voice to the person your answer and she or he writes it down on your test paper for you...that person cannot use her or his own answers at all, yours only, you sign your answer to each question, that person writes it down for you, you and that person both sign the paper at the end of the test). Sometimes additional accommodations can include allowing the use of a textbook or notes, but the decision to allow a book or notes usually falls on the professor or teacher who gives out the tests or exams. That's just how it is done in many universities, at least at mine. But at Gally, I don't know about their additional accommodations because it is a Deaf college and I've never attended Gally other than the lame summer College Bound program I attended while in high school so the rules may be more stricter or different because things are already made more accessible to you there than compared to hearing universities. At Gally they may still make accommodations for your learning disabilities, though, but I don't know how it is done there because Gally is considered a fully communications-accessible (ASL) university for the Deaf as opposed to a hearing university I attended where I had to use interpreters and notetakers, and needed extra time and a quiet room for the tests, my university does allow a lot more than that but I didn't need the other accommodations other than textbooks and notes and none of my professors would allow textbooks or notes ever anyway and we had to do it their way. One or more weeks before a test or exam is to taken I have to request a form requesting additional accommodations from the disability services, write on the form what I needed, and have my professors sign them, and there is a part on the form that my professors gets to fill out where they check boxes for "allow textbooks" or "no textbooks allowed" and "notes allowed" and "no notes allowed" and that kind of stuff. That's the only decision my professors gets to make....the rest is up to the disability services who have assessed my needs and does what they think should be done to meet my needs such as note-takers, use of a computer, extra time, quiet room, etc...and I have to turn the forms in to the disability service a week before the test is to be taken so that an appointment can be made available for me to go to the disability office to use one of their quiet rooms and have some extra time (my university gives me 30 to 45 minutes extra) for the test on the day the other students are taking their tests in their classroom.

Remember that Sara isn't all there in her mind. She's a sweet girl and wants for everything but doesn't get for everything. So with Sara, we all must have patience.

Here's a different perspective that I don't intend to offend but it is a reality:

College isn't for everyone. Some people are more suited for technical skills training. That applies to hearing and deaf alike.

Our society has been indoctrinated to believe that everyone must get a college education or else be doomed to life-long failure. That creates a lot of discouragement and frustration for people who don't fit the college mode.

There is nothing shameful about learning a trade or skill outside of formal college education. In fact, our society is losing all the skilled tradesmen because no one in the current generation is taking up those crafts. How many people do you know are in apprenticeships to become decorative iron workers, cobblers, brick masons (not brick layers), etc.? Those skilled artisans will soon disappear. Who will be around to do their work?

Some people aren't ready for college right out of high school. They either don't have the maturity or basic skills to tackle college work. For them, starting a couple years later when they are either more mature or have taken (and passed) adult education courses, could be the key to college success. Other people may never be ready for college but may excel in hands-on training in a skilled craft.

What is better? Constant frustration and failure at college, or continuing daily pride in jobs well done?

Emphasis: I'm talking about real skills in specialized fields, not minimum-wage day-labor jobs. (Don't let any VR counselors send you to a piece-work factory and call it quits.)

I'm not saying this is the situation for the OP but just an alternative to think about.
