Deferring exams extenuating circumstances and self certifying

HELP!!

I've got 2 exams this week, Tuesday and Thursday.
I've got a lot going on with family at home and haven't been able to revise. I know I'll fail if I take the exams.

Last year something similar happened and I got a sick note to defer.

If I get a sick note it will only cover the previous 7 days, so suppose I got the GP sick note on Tuesday it wouldn't cover Thursday. Should I just wait to get one on Thursday?

Or shall I self certify for both days as you get 2 self certify opportunities a year.

If I sit these exams I know I'll have to re sit the year. I need time.

What do I do?? Any help pleaseeee

There's a resit period in the summer. I believe it's in June period

It's just getting over this hurdle for now which is confusing me.

How do I defer both exams this week.
Is self certify enough, or do I need a sick note: if so I'll need 2 or I can get just the 1 but would have to wait to Thursday to get it
