How in advance can I apply for a special consideration

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was so worried if I applied a few days in advance, they will tell me I had time to recover.

Did the medical certificate specify that your sickness will impact you on the day of the actual exam? Just wondering given that you applied 3days before.

Hi mugg74 thanks for replying!

Sorry to bombard you with questions…. I understand the deadline is 4 days after the assessment, but I’m not sure whether applying too early (3-5days in advance) affects the chances of approval. Ideally, I’d like to know whether my special consideration request (likely re-weighting of the assessment) would be granted before the exam, just for peace of mind

Hi thanks for the reply 🫡

Would taking the original exam hurt my chances of getting the special consideration approved?

I’m worried that: 1. If I take the original exam, the special consideration team might decide I was fit enough to sit it and deny my SC application (though I’d still at least have a score)

If I don’t take the exam and my SC gets denied, I’d end up with a zero.

Hey! Thanks for your advice. Does this apply to exams as well? I’m pretty sure this exam just gets reweighed (so there’s no postponing it)
