Special Considerations: General / International Academic Qualifications

A candidate's examination performance can sometimes be affected by circumstances out of their control. Special consideration is a post-examination adjustment that compensates candidates who were suffering from a temporary illness or condition or who were otherwise disadvantaged at the time of the examination.

Exams officers may apply for special consideration on a candidate's behalf.
