Hey everyone,

I came down with severe food poisoning yesterday and haven't been able to study at all for my 35% test tomorrow. I submitted my special consideration application yesterday with a valid medical certificate, but it’s still pending.

I asked my TA if attempting the test while waiting for a decision would void my application, and they essentially told me that if I sit this test, I won't be allowed to take the deferred one. Now I'm stuck having to make a decision by tomorrow morning. If I take it, I'll definitely fail since I'm completely unprepared and unwell.

Has anyone at Monash been in this situation? How likely is an approval with a valid medical certificate? Should I skip the test tomorrow and wait for the deferred date?
