The test was a lot more thorough than I was expecting. The tests were very good, they were a challenge but seemed to be well suited to my age.
9/27/2016 2:02 PM
No I wasn’t aware of all the different areas which would impact my day to day life , my test report is totally spot on and I will be giving it to my boss in work with the aim to aid to stop continually be failed for the same errors
9/27/2016 1:14 PM
It was very thorough and clear
9/27/2016 11:36 AM
It was more detailed than I expected, which I liked.
9/15/2016 4:56 PM
It was long but I found it helpful
9/13/2016 7:01 PM
quite demanding but very straightforward to use
9/13/2016 10:43 AM
Just what I have been looking for ever since commencing my OU degree back in 2010. If it was available then I may not have failed my first level two because I could have enlisted the OU support earlier.
9/12/2016 5:10 PM
Easy to follow and interesting
9/12/2016 11:27 AM
It was slightly different to what I expected as I have never done a dyslexia test before. I thought that it was very clear and easy to use and would recommend it to others who feel that they may have dyslexia.
9/12/2016 11:26 AM
Yes I feel on the whole it was never having taken a test like this before it is a little hard to judge.
9/2/2016 10:33 AM
I found the test incredibly thorough and interesting to complete.
8/31/2016 10:25 AM
I found it in-depth but found that some of the questions assumed a level of general knowledge; without that knowledge, many students will struggle to accurately answer and this may be indicative of intelligence as opposed to a specific learning difficulty.
8/31/2016 9:42 AM
It was simple to follow, and easy to read.
8/30/2016 9:37 PM
I didn’t have an expectation of what the test would be like but I found it similar to brain training apps I use. I gained a better understanding of why I make certain mistakes, I do think that how tired I am also affects my performance.
8/30/2016 8:31 PM
It was a lot more comprehensive than I imagined.
8/30/2016 5:01 PM
I though it was a little different to what I thought it was going To be but overall it was alright, questions weren’t too difficult to comprehend
8/18/2016 7:57 AM
yes it was what to expect and overall impressions was good
8/15/2016 3:39 PM
I am pleased I can get the help I need
8/5/2016 9:19 AM
I thought it was very good I thought it was all pretty good, just not to sure what I need to do next
8/3/2016 6:46 PM
Did not realise I have issues with remembering a sequence of numbers
8/3/2016 3:00 PM
Yes, it was spot on
8/3/2016 2:17 PM
I was very happy with the test and the result
7/19/2016 11:24 AM
Test was straight forward.
6/27/2016 11:18 AM
I wasn’t sure what to really expect but it was fairly simple and explained well both with audio and visual
6/24/2016 4:41 PM
It was more thorough than I had expected
6/21/2016 12:24 PM
Yes, entirely as expected
6/7/2016 9:40 AM
very helpful and assisted me in getting help at work
6/6/2016 3:34 PM
It was good, clear and well set out.
5/23/2016 7:01 PM
Longer and more thorough than I expected which is good.
5/23/2016 5:45 PM
It was more in depth than I thought it would be and a lot more detailed
5/23/2016 4:56 PM
I thought it was good, I had a couple of issues with the sound but nothing major
5/23/2016 4:49 PM
Not really – although I’m not sure what I expected. The first session with the listening & typing I found it very hard and it put me off continuing with the rest for a few days, – with hindsight it may not have been the best one to start with.
5/11/2016 8:36 AM
Yes. It was quick and easy to complete. I was most impressed with the report which was far more detailed and useful than I had hoped.
5/10/2016 11:42 AM
Yes it was. It has help me choose to go for a fuller testing
5/9/2016 4:22 PM
It was well laid out and thought through. I found it easy to follow and it has been extremely helpful.
5/9/2016 2:06 PM
Some of the elements was quite hard for me
4/26/2016 10:08 AM
I am impressed, the QuickScreen Dyslexia demonstrates how much research has and being done to better understand Dyslexia and, how individually to improve myself.
4/25/2016 10:28 PM
More than expected as other tests I had viewed were basic
4/25/2016 5:43 PM
I liked it. I always suspected that I may have some learning difficulties but the test has confirmed this and put my mind at rest.
4/25/2016 1:56 PM
Good
4/25/2016 1:25 PM
Better than expected. Very professional and well laid out
4/12/2016 11:26 AM
I was moderate, the tests seem thorough, I was slightly surprised at results
4/10/2016 9:12 PM
Yes much as I expected and it resembled employment related psychometric tests I have undertaken in the past and in which I have done badly. I have real problems with numeracy (dyscalculia) and the test did not cover this which was unfortunate.
4/6/2016 3:13 PM
There was a couple of parts which used the same words, which made me recall rather than test different meanings.
4/4/2016 5:50 PM
It was brilliant
4/1/2016 8:15 PM
Didn’t know what to expect, some was more challenging than expected.
4/1/2016 7:44 PM
No, but eye opening and thorough
4/1/2016 6:09 PM
Excellent, well laid out test. Went above my expectations.
4/1/2016 2:54 PM
I didn’t know what to expect, it was very comprehensive
4/1/2016 2:51 PM
I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was generally good. Tech issues a real problem though with having to constantly restart certain parts with the voice coming and going.
4/1/2016 2:51 PM
interesting and surprisingly difficult in some sections
4/1/2016 2:47 PM
Very good
4/1/2016 2:18 PM
Not as indepth as dyslexia test with Psychologist
4/1/2016 1:47 PM
Just what I was looking for. Very helpful, I have had problems all my life without knowing why (despite these problems I was awarded my PhD in 1996). Thank you for giving me insight into this problem.
4/1/2016 1:32 PM
What actions do you intend to take having completed the QuickScreen Dyslexia Test?
I hope to be able to have a full diagnostic report and be eligible for a grant and support help
9/27/2016 5:51 PM
I am sitting the national fire fighter test and I was after extra time for my dyslexia. The fire service wouldn’t except this report for giving me extra time. I had a personal assessment which was not as thorough but they did except.
9/27/2016 2:02 PM
organisation and time-management strategies
9/27/2016 1:37 PM
Give this to my boss to stop her failing me all the time and puting me on the stop when my maths is wrong or pulling me up on my spelling and grammar which is very stressfully, I have had bosses in the past who have just called me thick so now I finally have the evidence to prove am not .
9/27/2016 1:14 PM
I was diagnosed as not having dyslexia so I will take no further action
9/27/2016 11:36 AM
I have been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism this year, and Dyslexia sometimes goes along with that. I reverse letters when I type every few words unless I really focus intensely, and I have been curious if this is normal or a sign of Dyslexia.
9/15/2016 4:56 PM
Nothing unless a problem arises that may be a result of my results
9/13/2016 7:01 PM
I have told people which areas I scored highly in!
9/13/2016 10:43 AM

9/12/2016 11:26 AM
I have discussed the finding with my manager at work as I am almost 61 years old and have lived with the results and found coping techniques I am not sure I will do anything else.
9/2/2016 10:33 AM
I used it as research for my job as a dyslexia advisor.
8/31/2016 9:42 AM
The report will be given to my employers to see how they can assist me.
8/30/2016 9:37 PM

8/5/2016 9:19 AM
I would like to be tested. I have been in touch with BDA and know one has been In touch, disappointed with BDA
8/3/2016 6:46 PM
I have submitted to my manager but this has meant that the company are implying that I’m not up to the standard that they require which is not the case
8/3/2016 2:17 PM
Telling the college that I am in adopt the test
7/19/2016 11:24 AM

6/7/2016 9:40 AM
Sought advise from work.
6/6/2016 3:34 PM
None – I took the test more out of personal interest for the detailed report.
6/6/2016 3:19 PM
I have always been a slow processor – not sure if much can change that; I have to think things through.
5/25/2016 4:57 PM
The test was recommended by the Union to my employer (HR) as I am undergoing performance and capability issues. I have submitted the results to my manager who is now in the process of organising a full assessment on me by a qualified assessor.
5/24/2016 10:03 PM
Practicing critical thinking
5/24/2016 2:15 AM
None. The proper dyslexia assessment is too expensive
5/23/2016 7:01 PM
Giving it to my HR department as I am being discriminated by some of my colleagues. As I being harass so looking at equal opportunities.
5/23/2016 6:27 PM
May use it to get extra time in exams. Just helped to confirm what I felt.
5/23/2016 5:45 PM
Gone and got a official test
5/23/2016 4:47 PM
I will share the report where appropriate, I’m thinking about how I interact with others and set out my work. As I’m 58 it’s a work in progress to change a life time of ‘not quite fitting’ but now I’m beginning to be able to understand what’s going on for me.

4/1/2016 1:32 PM
Any other comments on the QuickScreen Dyslexia Test?
Thanks
9/27/2016 5:51 PM
This is a very thorough test The report is very detailed and for me quite accurate. I was diagnosed 30 years ago when I was 8, I have sat many tests over my school life and none were as detailed as this test, surely a diagnoses could be given from the quality of this test.
9/27/2016 2:02 PM
Finally have the evidence I need to aid me in my job to pass my competency and stop me being treated like am stupid
9/27/2016 1:14 PM
Just wondering what steps do you suggest for people after taking the test
9/13/2016 7:01 PM
good, well produced test
9/13/2016 10:43 AM
Overall I would just say that it was a relatively quick and easy test which produced results that actually relate to me.
9/12/2016 11:26 AM
I was advise almost 40 years ago that I could be on the spectrum, completing this test has been a great comfort to me. It has helped me validate and accept some of the issues I have with certain task. I feel overtime now that I know where I sit and the panic that I have felt for years will subside when I am faced with certain task. Thank you for this.
9/2/2016 10:33 AM
I compared my results with those of my family which proved to be very informative and beneficial for my mother and sister who both showed indicators of dyslexia. Thank you for the opportunity.
8/31/2016 10:25 AM
Possibly advise individuals to break up the testing- as the whole test as a package can be quite full on.
8/31/2016 9:42 AM
thank you for the test it was enlightening
8/30/2016 9:46 PM
I thought it was well set out and not overly complicated to follow.
8/30/2016 9:37 PM
Thank you for offering it free. I don’t work in psychology but it was fun to participate.
8/30/2016 6:15 PM
The staff have been very helpful, especially Dr D Walker.
8/30/2016 5:01 PM
the instruction windows could be marked as after you close this box the test will begin, as I did spend time initially going round in circles
8/30/2016 5:01 PM
It would be nice to speak to someone and not doing everything by email…
8/3/2016 6:46 PM
More logical puzzles, it took me a long time for me to see the pattern
8/3/2016 2:17 PM
I was happy
7/19/2016 11:24 AM
I think for the Dictation Needs to have a parse button so can have time to re listen to have I had written and he had seid. Spelling in trouble can’t get thinks on paper all time
6/24/2016 11:34 AM
I wonder if you are going into too much depth? We are looking for a good screening tool to use with our students.
6/21/2016 12:24 PM
Just as a quick note I would say it would make sense to remove the outline of the box to type the number sequence in.
6/6/2016 3:19 PM
I think it is missing the element of interpersonal skills and feedback that an ed psych can give such as recommending types of jobs etc that build on strengths.
5/25/2016 4:57 PM
Please clearly state it can only be used as an indicator. CEM directed me to you so I undertook it, when my results came back I was told the test didn’t mean anything and couldn’t be used.
5/23/2016 7:01 PM
Need to add in for people who got hearing disability as well as I believe that this have an impact on my result as well. I believe they tied in together.
5/23/2016 6:27 PM
Easy, clear instructions.
5/23/2016 5:45 PM
It was interesting, having never had a test but some suspicions. The overall quality and the detail of the test were largely impressive
5/23/2016 4:49 PM
I found doing the test a bit daunting and I know that we all have to be ‘digital by default’ but I just wonder if this reaches the widest possible audience – especially if people have become disengaged with learning.
5/11/2016 8:36 AM
Thank you!
5/10/2016 11:42 AM
Try and other it to all works of life as most people of the older age would of been told that they would not do anything when working Which is not so if you have this problem you could get help and go back to college and retrain with better opportunity
5/9/2016 4:22 PM
Yes. This was an excellent way to explore my dyslexia in a discreet manner.
5/9/2016 2:06 PM
I personally think us dyslexia is a perfect organisation who can help those who are in difficulty with dyslexia and find it appreciated they can help and give you the advice you are looking for
4/26/2016 10:08 AM
I found test interesting and very helpful.
4/25/2016 10:28 PM
Really informative just more info on what to do next … !
4/25/2016 5:43 PM
By using the test it gave me the opportunity that I may never have had otherwise to discover I may have some learning difficulties.
4/25/2016 1:56 PM
I did the test on the IPad, the number sequence kept stopping and the video did not auto run. I needed to keep logging out and back in to complete the test. Other than that very good experience.
4/12/2016 9:56 PM
Could these results be used within a work place appraisal
4/10/2016 9:12 PM
Only that number related difficulties is something that could be covered or a test designed for potential dyscalculia sufferers.
4/6/2016 3:13 PM
It didn’t let me in using my ipad, said my details had expired however I tried a day later on my laptop and worked. I also really liked the quick response time when emailing to see how I could get back in. Thank you
4/4/2016 5:50 PM
Found it very useful, as it confirmed the thoughts I already had.
4/1/2016 7:44 PM
Good resource very hard to find reasonably priced and usable software
4/1/2016 2:51 PM
It was a good test and has all the sections to do
4/1/2016 2:18 PM
Thank you! As I am English and living in France I did not know where to go for an assessment. You solved my problem on that score. Thank you again you have set my mind at rest, at last.
