  12. What if an unexpected event affects my performance? • If due to illness or some other unexpected event, you cannot sit the exam or your performance is impaired, you may apply for a derived grade • No derived grade if: ongoing illness, or anxiety, panic attacks, these are part of exam stress and need to be managed • If you are ill you must get a form and go to the doctor within a day of the exam • If some other event affects your performance get a form from WGC4Me or from Mr. Morar • A derived grade must come from a standard specific grade held by the school in a practice exam or test.
