    Why can't you apply for special circumstances? You need a doctor's note.

    Having a doctor's note explaining what was wrong with you will be evidence but if you left it too late I am not sure if it will matter if you have the note or not. They might of thought it was just nerves or something? So you need to get some sort of evidence.

    thanks for the advice i'll make an appointment tomorrow morning to get a note by the afternoon for next weeks exams hopefully it'll be ok in the end, but seeing as I had to throw up during an exam I dont see how they can tell me its not serious
