Im in year 12. I sat one trial today & I am meant to be studying & revising my notes for tomorrow.


I have since Sunday come down with a huge cold. Sinus blocks, soreness and extreme headaches. I'm worried. I cannot look over & cannot concentrate on my notes. I am so sick. I am going to sit the exam. But it's going to Fuck my marks ;(. What do I do?

Get a doctor's certificate so you can do the exam the following day, or when you feel better during the week. Good luck, hope you feel better soon. Get some sleep.

Also I did an English assessment worth 30% while I was in a similar position to you< i went and did it, stop crying

If not, take a day off, get a medical cert and apply for special consideration (which could be rejected)

Mate, to be honest, I don't think that is a legitimate reason as to postpone your exam. Im sure there will be plenty of peeps in the same position.

Two/Three days not revising isn't going to really hinder your chances, providing you have done an adequate amount prior to your cold.

From personal experience, these symptoms are most likely from stress. The worst thing you can do is continue to stress, as it'll worsen.

GL mate hope all works out.
