[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 150325, member: 2672"] The difficulty is here that unfortunately you won’t have anyone to verify your circumstances or how they impacted your studies - in these instances firms can be reluctant to consider them as ultimately there is no evidence of them. You can still include explaining your mitigating circumstances in an application though and the advantage you do have is that it will clearly look like an anomaly compared to your other grades, and therefore may be taken into consideration. There is no harm in including the details - I think you just need to explain you were unwell on the day of the exam but sat the exam anyway, but due to the illness we’re unable to complete the last question.
