If a child is an extremely slow worker and they are thus failing in class tasks here are two suggestions:

1. Organise the exam to be held before lunch so they can take extra time from their lunch if they so wish.

2. Only mark the test out of the questions attempted. so on a 50 question test a child might only get to try 30. If they get 27 right their final mark is not 27/50 (54%) but 27/30. Obviously this is heavily based on trust with the student and should only be used in extreme circumstances. Also other children might think it is unfair.
