ill for exam

hello

Unfortunately I have caught the flu this morning and my exam is tomorrow for further math. I am feeling very sick. I am a year 11 so I have no other subjects. What do I do? I am scared if I throw up in the exam room as the supervisor has a process before letting a student go to the toilet. help :(

Your school should have someone who is responsible for dealing with illness/injury during exam time. Call them and find out what they want you to do.

You'll need to attend the exam regardless, tell your invigilators that you're sick and feeling like you might throw up so that they're aware.
Also go see a doctor either today or tomorrow and get a medical certificate (check with your school if there's any specific requirements on what it should say). You may be able to get a derived score if you're sick enough - it'll only be used if your score on the exam is worse than what your derived score is.

Just want to really highlight that it's important that you've seen your doctor. If you're going to have your score changed because you've been unwell, you'll need proof that you've been unwell. A doctor legally can't backdate a medical certificate unless they saw you that day.
