Your second paragraph made no sense to me. You say you cant blame the way you speak to having a stutter because people will think you're an attention seeker, but then you say you can't speak fully smo...

First of all, explain the situation. Tell her that you stutter, and that you tend to stutter more when you are stressed. I'm sure she'll understand. I had my oral exam a month ago, and I did the same....

Person with a bad stutter here - I'd be happy if someone broached the topic because what you've described legit sounds like it could be a very stressful experience. I wouldn't ask if they want someone...
