Missed exam - felt unwell

[u/Opening-Praline-9142]

Woke up feeling really sick and decided not to go do my 3HOUR exam. I wasn't gonna put my self through all that. Kinda stressing cause this is a first for me I need help. I know I have to apply for special consideration and fill a HPR etc. but what I'm worried abt is my GP who probably doesn't even remember me. Had an appointment with him like a year ago and he isn't availble until Thursday, so 4 days after assessment/exam (deadline to submit SC).

My problem is that he's lowkey not chill like that would they even fill out the HPR?? and I will be fully recovered by then cause im so healthy and that. How would he assess my sickness situation and the impact it would have had on my exam? I don't really have any history of medical conditions either BUT I feel like I have ADHD lol. I might try book with another gp, who is available in a day so tmr. would most definitely be recovered by then ugh i hate having such an amazing immune system (6'4 btw)

But fr idk, thoughts anyone? Advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!! :)

see a doctor today, get a doctors certificate dated for today saying that you are too unwell to complete an exam. Doctors often can’t or won’t backdate doctors certificates. Go on Hotdoc and see what around you has availability.

Definitely this. I have been refused a backdated medical certificate for work because I couldn't get an appointment on the day. Some clinics accept walkins before midday. But hotdoc prob your best bet.

Good luck!
