What happens if you don't attend your uni exam because you're too anxious?

I have an exam in the morning (pharmacy) for which although I have been preparing for, I can't seem to implicate anything whilst attemping past papers because I'm way too anxious. Things didn't go as I'd hoped and I've not had a good year hence my summer exams have suffered as a consequence.
I think most likely I will fail tomorrow...is it worth going too? I'm not exaggerating as I seriously feel very helpless.

Has anyone else not attended an exam due to anxiety that has branched off of their depression?

Go and do your best in the exam, but talk to someone at uni at soon as possible. If you do fail, with extenuating circumstances you may be able to redo them as a first sitting, or even next summer if you'd rather take a year out or something instead. What your options are and what is and isn't possible will depend on your personal circumstances and on your university. They cannot help you if you don't ask them to though.

In a practical exam a few weeks back one of the lectures/teachers herself saw that I looked 'very hungover' which I was not but seemed so since I couldn't help cry the hours leading upto the exam and she told me to speak to the exam coordinator about arranging Extenuating Circumstances forms but I didn't since I considered it unfair as everyone has ups and downs through life not just me. But now I'm thinking I should have. There is still time to submit a form so I don't know. But yh I shall still go the exam and try my best whatever the outcome

Well, seeing as you will be considered as absent, you will need to look at your university's policy for that. My friend got the dates mixed up and missed her exam. She was allowed to 'resit' but her entire module was capped at 40% as a result. That's not an extenuating circumstance but as far as they're concerned, neither is yours until you talk to them about it. IF they accept it as an extenuating circumstance then you'll be made to sit it later. If not, you've missed the exam and you could be capped or the module could be taken as failed, depending on how your university handles it. It might be worth going anyway. If you fail it, you have to resit it anyway, but I don't know much about extenuating circumstances and the required proof of such.
