Missing an A level exam due to sickness

For the last few weeks I've been having fainting episodes. I'm scared that I'll miss an exam because of it. What will happen if I miss an exam? I'm so anxious. My revision has been going well but that means nothing if I miss an entire paper.

Hey @Dudoodoo,
If you end up missing an exam due to sickness, the best thing to do is get in contact with your school or college as soon as possible. They should be able to request special consideration from your exam board.
What exactly special consideration entails will depend on the exam board and your particular circumstances - for example, AQA notes:
'If a student is fully prepared for the exam but is disadvantaged due to illness or unavoidable circumstances beyond their control at the time of the exam or when they complete their coursework/controlled assessment.
In these cases, a small percentage is added to the raw mark. The percentage is determined by using the guidelines agreed by all the awarding bodies and published by JCQ.'
Hope this helped and best of luck with your exams,

I do OCR for the subject I am most worried about. Thank you. I will check their websites.

Not sure if its the same with A Level, but in some cases where a doctors note can be provided then you will receive your most recent predicted grade, so whatever you got in mocks.

I know this is the case for gcse, normally special consideration is when you do the exam but cannot do it to your best standards, but if you miss the exam completely then, with proof, you should get your predicted grade
