I wish you could but its not really a solid/valid reason/excuse but if you do they may just give an estimate.

Wait... so did you miss your speech? Or did you get there on time for the speech, but committed 'malpractice' or whatever by taking the morning class off (giving you more time to prepare than others).

Either way, having already admitted that you weren't sick, it kind of depends on how lenient the school will be, because their official policy is probably to give a 0. :/ Good luck.

this happened to other people in my school as well and I think the best you can ask for is an estimated mark :/
they assume that you were cramming UNLESS you tell them that you were feeling really faint and sick before school started but started feeling better hence deciding to go to your assessment. Try get a doctor's certificate along with that as well and they may possibly let you do your speech.
It's a long stretch because you already told them your reason but remember that everything counts now. I would do whatever I can to try earn even just 1 mark.

Just a reminder that it is illegal for a doctor to backdate a doctor's certificate.
