Short Term Memory Tests https://www.psychologistworld.com/memory/stm-test-result I received a score of 10/12 on this short term memory test. If I had to rate this test, I would rate this a 6/10.

I would rate this test a 7/10 because I feel remembering parts of a face are much easier then remembering sentences or hard words. https://www.memorylosstest.com/free-short-term-memory-tests-online/ I had 84% correct recall which was quite lower then the other tests.

 How to cope with ADHD and PTSD? The use of stimulants and cognitive treatment has been the most effective in terms of coping with ADHD symptoms. The use of these treatments does not cure ADHD but rather to combat the symptoms that come along with it. ADHD can also lead to PTSD over a period of time.
