I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and I'm on file with Disability Services at my college. In fact, I'm actually getting time management coaching through them. However, I never requested testing accomodations. This is because almost none of my classes have tests, and the profs of those classes that do always give us as much time as we want/need. So seeking accomodations would have been a bit silly, since I'm basically getting them anyway. But now I'm told that I need testing accomodations through my college in order to get them on the GRE, or else I have to go through full neurological testing (which I can't afford). Does anyone know the process for any of this or have any more information at all?
THANKS!!!

Here is a link to the GRE ADD accommodation requirements-it is a boat-load of required stuff. My guess is to keep people without the disability from abusing or gaining an advantage over truly disabled people.
