    Anyone know what the story is with these? Like it say that you can submit a form to explain reasons that you feel have affected your performance in a given exam. Do you have to have a doctors note in order to submit one of these?

    Thanks

    A doctor's note is not essential.

    Well you are going to need proof for whatever excuse you are using. So say for example if you were trying to hop over a fence but slipped and caught your ballbag on the spike which understandably made you miss the exam or affected your performance, then of course a doctor's note outlining said ball-scapade would be needed.

    All the best.

    So what about say, religious reasons?

    I didn't do any study over the weekend because I thought I was going to be raptured - do I have any recourse?

    "The extenuating circumstances form (R30) can be filled out by students who feel their performance in an exam or project has been adversely affected by illness (physical or psychological), an accident, pregnancy, maternity, bereavement, or other personal circumstances."

    I guess that would fall under personal circumstances. I myself would be asking why you left your studying to the weekend before the exam and not in the weeks beforehand.
