To be really stressed about this?

I work in a role in which I am given training (think actuary etc) which involves passing hard exams first-time. Have had mental health struggles which led to failing some, work were supportive and let me continue. I am retaking on a slightly different schedule, normally you have to lots at once and I am doing fewer, and have been advised to not take more than one on same day. Due to an oversight (mine! The date was there when I booked but didn't register with me) I am booked in very soon to take more than one on same day. I chose to take this combination as during the last sitting, they were on different days, so thought this would be manageable and appropriate. Now with the exams drawing nearer, I have checked and they are on same day. Do you think I should mention this to those in charge?

I think I would take stock of how well I was feeling and how well prepared I was. You have been advised (although you don't say who by, and that might make a difference) not to take more than one a day, but that is just advice. So, it's up to you to determine what you think you can reasonably do.

Thanks Pippi, very helpful. Advice from a work-linked health practitioner and I have it in writing. To be honest I am very stressed and although I am preparing, it would definitely help not to take more than one on the same day. I am kicking myself though as I should have checked this before (I booked the exams after all and the date would have been clear, I just did not think). If I asked to do this, I would have to rebook one to a different session
