Has anyone has success with applying for a reduced study load?

Hi everyone,
I am currently studying bachelor of psychological science and took 4 units in trimester 1. Long story short, uni is going really bad and i ended up being diagnosed w ADHD, which checks out. I applied for a reduced study load (2 units in trimester 2 and 2 units in trimester 3). This will not affect my visa because i will just be skipping my summer break technically (i am an international student). And i checked w the student central and they told me there are units i can take in trimester 3 for my course.

Chances of me getting it tho? I really cannot study 4 or even 3 units next trimester i barely scraped by this trimester and i want to get decent grades next trimester 🫩.

Thanks!!

How long can i expect to wait for my meds?

Hi everyone,
I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist last week and have “very likely have undiagnosed and untreated adhd”. I have my second appointment tomorrow where he just needs to view my school records and have a quick chat with my mum. He said its very likely that i have adhd he just needs to do his due diligence. How soon can i except to be medicated if everything goes alright tomorrow? (which it will because my school reports are very descriptive of my adhd imo). I have been struggling a lot in uni and would like to end my study term without failing lol.

Thanks!

how supervised are the exams?

I have a supervised exam tomorrow for HPS104. I will be monitored through zoom and give the exam through a weblink.

I want to know, will the exam weblink be able to detect if i switch to another tab or word for my notes? Or detect copy paste motion? i’ll def pass without these and wouldn’t wanna risk it if there’s a chance they can track it.
Thanks yall
