It is compulsory for you to sit for all papers of your examination, including the oral, listening comprehension, and written papers.

If you miss one or more papers of a subject for a valid reason, such as illness or compassionate grounds, you should notify your school immediately and provide relevant supporting documents. Your school can then apply for special consideration (SC) on your behalf. Each SC application is assessed on each case’s merit, to ensure that the grades awarded are as accurate and fair as possible.

If you are absent for one or more papers of a subject without a valid reason, you will be deemed as ‘Absent without valid reason’ for the subject and your results for that subject will be annotated.
