Special Consideration

  • Special Consideration

    What is Special Consideration?

    Special consideration is a post-examination adjustment to a candidate's mark to reflect circumstances outside of the candidate's control at the time of the examination which is likely to have had an effect on their ability within the assessment.


    When can I request this?

    Special consideration can be requested at any time during the examination period, under the following circumstances:

    • Temporary illness, accident or injury at the time of the exam;
    • Bereavement at the time of the exam;
    • Domestic crisis at the time of the exam;
    • Serious disturbance(s) during the exam (i.e. unscheduled fire alarm activation).

     

    All requests for special consideration must be discussed with the exams manager, in confidence if necessary. In the case of illness or bereavement you may be asked to provide written evidence as part of the application for special consideration.
