who pissed in your cheerios?
just an idea, but it might be a good idea to keep your invalidation to yourself. someone who has just experienced the loss of a family member doesnt need to hear it. (:
@ op
you will almost definitely get special consideration due to the loss of a family member (im sorry about that, by the way).
however, i dont think youll be able to get extra time as it is too late for this series of exams. anything that you need to apply directly to the exam boards for (im pretty sure extra time is covered in this) is probably off the table now. there are other arrangements that may help you that you do not need to send off for, though, and they may be available and helpful for you.
best of luck with your exams! ☆
