Could you suffer from ADD if you constantly get bad grades?

In: ADD-ADHD [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Possibly. Do you consistently get high scores on tests, yet can't ever seem to get homework done or turned in on time?

This is something I've discovered is very common. Your test scores could be way above the norm, yet you'll find yourself failing or just barely scraping by in class because of the dang homework. It's just too hard to concentrate on it, so you put it off or get distracted and then it doesn't get done.

But poor grades are not a definite indication of ADD. There could be another learning disorder involved. It may be that you just don't learn well in a structured environment. Of course, lack of discipline or desire to apply oneself is another likely possibility.
