Illness during HSC exam (1 Viewer)

[zzz5428]

I currently have a high fever since last Saturday with a physics exam on Thursday and a geography exam on Friday, and I don't imagine it'll improve significantly until then as I am currently experiencing urges to vomit.

This has significantly impacted my ability to study as I get massive headaches and body aches.

How should I proceed?

I think you should talk to your school ASAP, so they are aware about this. Im pretty sure they will guide you through what to do. They will probably tell you to see how well you are feeling until tomorrow and if you don't feel better they will give you an illness form to fill. Call as soon as the school opens tmmr morning. Get Well Soon

Should I attend the exam still as the website states that I should attend the exam unless its unsafe to do so. But what actually does unsafe entail?

You should attend the exams no matter what. Unsafe not really sure, but I think it means in reference to the safety of others around you. For example, if you have an infectious virus, it is not safe for others. Also when you attend the exam, you must tell the invigilator (person running the test, like the person from nesa) regarding how you are feeling since on the illness form they would be a "witness" and they can say that your illness actually affected your ability in the test. Im pretty your school should guide you through this procedure, but just I would recommend you to attend the test whilst you can because that will support your case.

Thanks for the advice.

Last question is how lenient are they with illness and misadventure forms, like is it required that they are extremely rigorous and detailed?
I.e. Would it be accepted if my illness does get considerably better to the point I can do the exam?

Not really sure. Though it is best that you include everything in detail since giving more won't impact you, however, if you give less than expected there could be a little problem there.

If you can do the exam I doubt they would accept the illness form since you were there to do the test, and I don't think they will consider you missing out on time for studying since at the end of the day, you did get better and you did the exam.

Anways although I have provided you much of what I know, I still think it is best that you give a call tmmr morning to your school and ask for what process to follow because they will definetly have more information than I currently do. Once again get well soon and i'm sure you will do good for both exams. GOOD LUCK

Btw just to confirm you should ask these exact questions to your school tomorrow since I don't really want you to 100% trust my information above and mislead you. Sorry if your school says something different to what I said lol.
