I failed my English exam :(

I only finished questions 6 and 4, the others I half answered and question 3 I left in blank completely.

I get extra time but I couldn't finish the exam

I'm a mature student. Can I retake??

why would you spend an awful lot of time on questions? STICK TO THE TIME SCALE
well its done now, you can retake in november if you didn't get the grade :/

Cos I have mental problems and my brain is slow.

you need to discuss dis with your teachers... this means that u cannot complete any of the exams?

Yes you can retake. Annoying, but dont panic, just take it again. This time practice doing exams so you spend the appropriate amount of time on each question.

I did practice. It didn't help, I couldn't concentrate.

You didnt practice properly then. or you can use your mental health issues.
Practice is the only way to learn how to deal with it.

It's okay. Of course you can retake and next time you'll have a better idea what it feels like to take the exam. Try to pinpoint why you couldn't focus so you can work on improving that for next time.

In the exam, give yourself less timings than you think. That way, when you run over on questions, you'll have some 'spare' time that you can use.

Plenty of people have to retake; you aren't alone. Try doing a few times practice papers too and replicate the conditions of the exam as best as you can to get used to the situation.

Good luck if you do it again! You can get that C!

Of course I practised, and who are you to say that I didn't? My brain works more slowly than other people's and that's not something I can improve on, it's an illness.

I said you didnt practice properly, which is not saying you didnt practice at all. Whatever you did, didnt work. If you are not answering questions, its because you don't know the answer (lack of prep) or you have not spread your time evenly in answering the questions. If you have 4 questions and 2hrs then its basic exam technique that you should spend 25% if your time on each question.

Presumably they gave you the extra time to compensate for your illness. If you feel the problem wasnt enough time, then you should reapply for your special consideration and ask for more time.

If you've already been given extra time and still didn't finish they won't be able to take that into account I'm afraid. It will be an overall mark based on what you did. Unfortunately missing out an 8 mark question and not finishing others means you probably won't be getting a high mark. Not to worry you, I'm just telling you from a marker's perspective. They are sent questions without student names to mark.

I assume you discussed your issues in order to get the extra time - what judgement did they make about it?

Some of my students in my mock exams really struggled with time and it's always better to at least attempt and gain 2 or 3 marks than just leave questions blank.
