I had a Focal aware Seizure during my NAT 5 English exam

I drank 1400 mg of caffeine from coffee thinking it was Decaf (I barely ever drink coffee because it tastes disgusting and the most amount of caffeine I have in a day is around 200mg so I'm not very caffeine tolerant) to stay awake during the exam but then when I was doing my exam I had a Focal aware seizure. I don't really know how I did in the exam. Can I do anything if I get bad marks?

Hi, do u have a seizure disorder? Because if you do you should tell the school, and ask for extenuating circumstances rn.
It'll need to be recorded within 2 weeks of the exam, then you can get grades based on ur past performance. e.g. Prelims, class tests etc.

i'd mention it to a teacher, but they're not likely to put in a exceptional circumstances report, its deffo worth trying :smile:
