    Hi Sir,

    In my Sep exam, my computer suddenly turns black screen and restart immediately after the exams started around 1.5 hours. I was panic and shocked due to don’t know my answer got saved by the system or not. Then I raise hand call the invigilator for help, the invigilator take around 2 to 3 minutes to restart my computer and move me to another computer to continue exam. My question is, if i request mitigating circumstances in this case, will this add marks for my case? although it take only 5 minutes of the exam time, but this was seriously impact my emotion and exam mind.

    As this happened in a centre, you should have raised a centre complaint – but the deadline for that was 10 September The mitigating circumstances closing date was 17 September.

    All mitigating circumstances are considered by a panel to ensure consistency and fairness. Some allowance will be made for any disruption – however, this can only be a few marks at most (not “handfuls”)
