Should I disclose a disability and ask for extra time on assessments?

I have a disability which is legit reason to ask for extra time on online and physical assessment tests. Should I actually ask for extra time?
At first I was thinking I wouldn't ask for any adjustments, but know I am starting to think why not. I would be quite pissed not to go through to the next round of something that I worked for because of some stupid tests.
Is there anything else I should think about?

That's exactly what I was thinking especially since I am applying for S&T. Actually, one of the banks called me up and asked if I want extra time and I declined. I guess I will just do normal tests for the rest as well.

Agree with what others said, especially because you are applying for S&T and you need to be quick on your feet for that. Sucks but you don't want to give them a reason to turn you down.
