Exams

Don't get stressed about exams...

Even if you have been doing exams for years, it may help to get some information to avoid getting too stressed before an exam, to revise more efficiently, approach exams and also see what you can do it if all feels like it is getting on top of you. See the link at the bottom of the page for a useful guide on exam stress.

Extenuating circumstances

Forms can be downloaded from HERE

You should fill the form in clearly, making sure that you give clear and concise details of what the circumstances are and how they have been affecting your academic performance.  You should state how long these issues have been going on and if you can provide evidence (for example a letter or note from your doctor).
