Urgent TSA question

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 ofmy chronical illness due to an infection, and had to go to the emergency unit to get treated. I'm pretty much feeling horrible withfevers and dizziness, definitely not on my best performance for tomorrow. I know I can apply for special consideration and i DOhave a doctors note, but my question is, how will this affect my uni application? I've obviously worked really hard for this, and Iwas 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 mitigatingcircumstances. Can anyone give me some general advice, or has anyone been in my situation before?

Thank you so much for the help
Sorry this is so late, but I think if you let them know by the end of today they can take it into consideration - I'm honestly not sure how it would affect your application but I'm sure they will weight your score less strongly. How did it go?

Hi!
Thanks for getting back to me, I’ve sent them a special considerations request through my test account and now I’m praying. I was feeling extremely sick during the test but despite that I think i did good due to my circumstances. The first 35 questions were fine, but then I started feeling worse and couldn’t concentrate, so I didn’t realise I ran out of time and had to just put in a guess for the last 10. Didn’t get to answer 50 unfortunately. Did you sit the test as well? :-)
