My university's accommodations have made me lose out

I'm not sure how related this is to ADHD, but my exam is in less than 24 hours and all I've managed to accomplish today is feeling depressed, so I was hoping to get this off my chest.

I was finally diagnosed in the summer and decided to seek accommodations in the fall - not sure if they were needed or worthwhile, but couldn't hurt to see, right? I got an accommodation for "no morning tests". I went with this because I've only been recently medicated and I did find I felt "worse" than usual when they hadn't kicked in yet, so a test at 8:30 in the morning could be rough. I didn't know if this would level off as I got more used to meds, get worse, or whatever. I asked if tests were booked automatically based on these accommodations and was told students need to request having their tests booked. Meaning this accommodation was optional, I could decide if it wasn't needed, but if it was it would be handy to have.

The university has ridiculously long time chunks for testing restrictions and the options available meant I "officially" don't write tests before 12:30. But, since the ball is in my park, this means I can be reasonable and only reschedule if its super early/I feel its needed.

Well, I was failed to be told that exams were different from midterms and those were booked automatically. A 10:00 am test, which I would've been fine for, got pushed into the afternoon. I immediately emailed and requested if this could be changed back and was told no.

I decided on a last ditch effort I'd try calling and was told the deadline to give up an accommodation was 3 days after I emailed. I EMAILED IN TIME! There's nothing that can be done now.

Now everyone in my class is going out to a special bakery after exams. I get to watch everyone write the test, go out and have fun, meanwhile I will be starting my test. And I have to write my test in a room that belongs in A Quiet Place. I'm regretting ever asking for accommodations, and am pissed I was misled.
