Further testing (1 Viewer)

[ujuphleg]

Hey guys,

I had to miss an exam during the exam period and have had my special consideration granted. However there's a high chance that the further test that I have to take will fall next week, when I have been scheduled to be away.


Does anyone know what happens if you can't sit a further test? The faculty page http://www.econ.usyd.edu.au/15029.html says that if you miss a further test without "sufficient reason" then you fail. But what constitutes sufficient reason? Is being interstate sufficient reason enough?


Anybody know or been in the situation please let me know.

Thanks

P.S. I'm asking the question to you guys cos my lecturer is known to be unreasonable and volatile. I'd like to arm myself with as much information as possible.

I have read if you miss a further test you are either given 0, or if you sat the final and applied for special consideration due to being sick during the exam, and missed the further test you are given the mark of your final.

Depends on your faculty I suppose. It's slack that they don't get back to you quicker eh.

P.S. Thanks velox.
