Under the ADA an employer must make a reasonable accommodation that would allow you to perform the essential functions of your job, so long as making that accommodation does not cause an undue hardship to the company.

The question here would be whether speed (11 minutes vs 15 minutes) is an essential function of the job, and whether allowing you to take more time would cause an undue hardship to the employer. I can't answer that without more facts about your specific situation.
