TSA questions (urgent)

Hello everyone!

I'm an international student who is facing quite some troubles in relation to the TSA tomorrow. I've unfortunately had a flare up of my chronical illness due to an infection, and had to go to the emergency unit to get treated. I'm pretty much feeling horrible with fevers and dizziness, definitely not on my best performance for tomorrow. I know I can apply for special consideration and i DO have a doctors note, but my question is, how will this affect my uni application? I've obviously worked really hard for this, and I was doing ok well at the TSA (scoring 69-72 on past papers) but I'm really worried how the process will be if i apply for mitigating circumstances. Can anyone give me some general advice, or has anyone been in my situation before?

Thank you so much for the help :smile:

Take the test if you can and let your college know what has happened later .

Hi, thanks for your advice. I ended up sitting the test, although experiencing the same symptoms. I can apply for special consideration through my Oxford admissions test account is worth it to also contact the college i applied to on top of this to let them know directly?
