Hi!
I was just wondering what the SQA procedure on this is to reassure myself.
I know that if you are too unwell to sit an exam, you have to provide a doctor's note. But can they still award you a grade based on your prelim? And would the grade be the same as that grade or would they improve it?
Thank you

Hi!
Someone in my family has just become ill - I'm hoping it's food poisoning and not a bug, but if it is a virus I probably will have caught it!

Thankfully I've already done the exams I was most worried about, just slightly panicky!
Thank you

If you are too unwell on the day, you'd need to ask your school to submit you for extenuating circumstances- https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/79042.html. This needs to be submitted either before or up to 10 working days after each affected exam.
