English Exam: Special Consideration (Very Ill, Passed out)

See your examination officer and if I were you, I'd sit the exam but its up to you..

Firstly, go to bed relax and stop panicking. As you say you're a capable English student. I know today won't have helped your anxiety but nor will lack of sleep.

Secondly, when you do wake up remind yourself of how genuinely gifted you are at English and know that that will get you through.

If you are feeling rough still then as the pp says speak with the examinations officer who may be able to send off a form if special consideration if they see fit.

Good luck, you will be fine, honestly!

Hi guys...

Ok so English is my top subject. For my mock exam, I got an A*. I'm really concerned that because of my health at the moment, I won't be able to do well in tomorrow's exam.

Earlier today, I passed out and was unconscious for awhile. I hit the ground hard, and my face is all cut up and im bleeding in a few places. Currently, I'm feeling completely crap, to be honest with you. I've been throwing up all day, I've got an awful migraine and my eyes are hurting awfully. My vision isn't too great either, I'm seeing double... and whenever I get up to walk, I feel really unstable.

An ambulance was called by someone who saw me fall, and they took me to the hospital. They did a few tests, but when they moved on to wanting to do injections and what not; I refused. I have an adversed effect to injections, and an important exam tomorrow, I thought I should leave it till after the exams are over. In hindsight, that was stupid because I've got no idea why I passed out.

What do I do? I'm not in the right state to complete an exam at all. Last time I got an A*, I am a capable English student... But tomorrow, I know I won't be able to do amazingly. I feel awful.

Most of it is mental illness, not physical. I look fine apart from the cuts and bruises.

My target grade for English is a C (I did badly on SATS) and I really can't have that as my grade, which Im guessing I'd get if I didn't sit the actual exam. How do I go about not sitting the exam but getting my mock grade? Is this possible?

What process should I take tomorrow morning? Any help will be greatly appreciated

You could sit the exam, but also explain the situation so that way when they mark your script they take into consideration whilst marking it you weren't in your best state.

Thanks so much for your reply I really appreciate your kindness and optimism.

If I sit the exam and afterwards feel it went badly because of how I felt... Is it possible to go to the exam officer then? Or do I have to outline the issues before I sit the exam?

Who would I need to explain that too, and when would I need to? Before the exam, or after the exam? Thanks

Either. I'd think before would get it off your mind though but I think you have a small period if grace after exam to send it si don't worry to much. It will be fine.

Your exams office official who will report it to the exam board, make sure you report this BEFORE the exam. Try to bring any proof documents you have just in case they ask for it or if they don't believe you.

Good luck with your exam.

Ahhh okay, so I'll have to do it before? Should I get a parent to call up someone too?
