Re: 5 days until first exams, AND I JUST GOT GLANDULAR FEVER!!! help me, what do i do
Dave, did you sit for the RET test for UWS by any chance? From what I know (but im not sure) you can still do that exam later on through special provisions if you contact UWS. Also, if you don't get the UAI you need for the course you can do the RET test after the results are out and try for a spot still. Check up on the details though because my memory about it is very vague. The test is basically general skills type and cannot be studied for. You also do an extended response but yeah nothing in which can be studied, just your skills.
GO TO ALL YOUR EXAMS DAVE!!! even if you feel like you're gonna cark it still go because anything on the paper is better than nothing. If you choose not to go to an exam and then later on the BOS say "sorry too bad that exam mark is going to be zero" how disappointed would you be. Scrape up any marks you can mate.
EDIT - just saw the above post and realised you might be better off missing some exams. There is also the risk of it not going in your favour. Also, If it is going to be quite some time till you get better then when you re-sit exams you may still be feeling sick.
I do feel for you but you have to keep strong despite this becasue i'll tell you the BOS don't really care - honestly, they're evil. The only one who can make the most of a very unfortunate circumstance is you, so whenever you feel up to it work on your study instead of beating yourself up over maybe not getting into uni or not receiving extra marks. Do all that is required in terms of special consideration options and once that's done don't stew over it. You can't predict what will happen, you can only work on the here and now so keep your chin up and do what you can.
Best of luck dude.
