Experiences of special consideration after a medical emergency during A levels

[Curiouscase]

Please can you tell me your experience of ‘special consideration’ in A Levels? My DS suffered a medical emergency in his A level today.

School said they will apply to exam board for special consideration for all his exams.

Realistically, what does this mean? Will exam board take into account his grades from school assessments prior to exams? Or just add 1-5% to his score (a quick google suggests the latter).

Obviously his main worry is it impacting his uni application. (Will also post on FE board)

Thank you

Look at rest breaks too though, because if he's been granted extra time, that will probably mean that he is judged to need extra time for working. If he has to use it to have a seizure, then he won't get it for working which still isn't ok. Unless he doesn't need/qualify for extra time for working and has only been given it to have a seizure in. Also there might be an argument that he can't have ET and rest breaks... that's not true if they are for different reasons.

Sorry to hear about your DS. Hope he is ok. Ask the school to write to the Unis as opposed to you. That way the Unis see that the school is full aware and support your DS.
