I have been very sick with a chest infection and debilitating headache for 1.5 weeks and I'd expect it to last until this weekend after the GP finally budged and gave me antibiotics. It was so serious that I was nearly bedridden --- some days I were be too dizzy to stand up from the bed, some days my eyes were literally oozing out pus and I couldn't even read, some days I cough out greenish phlegm and blow my nose every ten seconds, and throughout the entire period too confused and sick to actually learn or remember anything, I could not revise for my exams at all. My 1st exam however is 2 weeks away, which means I'd be recovered a week before it starts.
We're given a term break of around a month to revise. I have 4 subjects lined up one after the other, each needing a week of revision, plus quite an important report. As I have lost 2 weeks during this break, this severely affected my revision schedule. My report is due on the same week as the exam and it needs at least 3 days of work, which means i need at least 2 weeks to submit both the report and the exam, and now i only have a week left.
Is there any chance the university would accept my EC request and defer my 1st exam to late summer? Or is that highly unlikely to succeed, seeing as I would have recovered a week before my 1st exam?
