The ESO has some diagnostic software and is able to screen students for any underlying specific learning difficulties.
This software is able to identify your preferred learning style, for example, whether you are a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner. This report also tells you whether your answers give indicators associated with dyslexia. The report however might also indicate you simply need additional study skills support.
