Find out what you need to do if you are sick or have an emergency, and cannot attend or complete your exam.
If you can’t attend your exam because:
- you are sick, tell your school, arrange a medical appointment, complete the online Derived Exam Rating Application and Consent form for students and provide the TASC Medical Certificate to the GP to complete and send to TASC.
- you have an emergency (or can’t attend for another reason), tell your school and write to TASC explaining why.
For application information and links to the forms, see Illness & emergency during exams.
Be aware of the application time period: You can only apply for derived exam ratings in the specified time period. For illness, this is no more than seven (7) days before OR two (2) business days after the written exam, practical/performance or presentation. Your medical appointment and submission of the online Derived Exam Rating Application and Consent Form must BOTH be within the application time period to be accepted.
You cannot apply for derived exam ratings for a written exam until 3 November at the earliest (for an exam on day 1 of the written exam period).
If you are having difficulties applying for derived exam ratings, please contact TASC so we are aware of your situation and can help advise you.
