Is it possible to have dyslexia and still high test scores?

Yes, absolutely. Dyslexia is a learning difference that primarily affects reading and writing, but it doesn't impact intelligence. Many individuals with dyslexia have average or above-average intelligence and can achieve high test scores, particularly in areas that don't heavily rely on reading or writing speed. They may excel in math, science, art, or other subjects where their strengths can shine. However, standardized tests may not always accurately reflect their abilities due to the time constraints and format that often disadvantage those with dyslexia. With appropriate accommodations, like extra time or alternative formats, many individuals with dyslexia can achieve scores that reflect their true potential.
