Please Give Some Urgent Advice

I am predicted 3 A*s in my A-levels.

However, based on how my exams went, I know for a fact that I will not achieve this.

However, this is not my fault. The reason why this is the case is because I have autism and I was diagnosed by my doctor just a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, this meant that I passed the deadline to apply for extra time for my exams. This has disadvantaged me and has meant that I have run out of time on all of my exams - some I managed to cope with but most not.

Reading online I have discovered that under some special circumstances, exam boards may add extra marks to your raw total if you suffered illness/bereavement or other issues. I am not sure if I qualify but do you think I do?

Do you have any advice on what to do because I don’t want to lose my place at a good university that I have an offer to and I feel like I really deserve a higher grade as I did so well in my mocks to achieve such a high predicted grade.

No, they didn’t know before my exams. I myself only officially found out when my first exam was finished and I had struggled so much.

I then went to the exams’ officer to request extra time and she said it was too late; however, the government website says that exam centres have to report these things even if they are late, which my school didn’t do.
