I don’t like sharing personal or identifiable information so if I’ve missed anything important I’ll add it in an edit (I also ramble so, you have been warned). I also don’t know if this is the best place for advice so please tell me where is if not.
I’m currently in year 11 doing my second year of exams. I got an IDP about two years ago agreed with by my original school (I am on a reduced timetable and only attend science and history), I started co-attending another school/tuition centre (on and off because of my health issues) for maths and English about a year ago and they agreed to the IDP. Neither have been good at following it.
The main problem has been their inability to warn me a day in advance of large changes, after the first time this happened (when I first got the IDP, my school didn’t tell me about the changes to my mock exam timetable and just decided to give me them all at completely random times?) it had been mentioned to one of my doctors because of the impact it had on my fatigue and anxiety and they said that an IDP is a legal document and they weren’t allowed to do that. But this time it’s far worse.
I have an arrangement for 25% extra time during exams for processing and fatigue ect and there have been no problems with the original school but the new one has decided that I don’t need it. I didn’t get the chance to do the mocks with them and I joined them too late to do my year 10 exams so I didn’t know until recently that they didn’t automatically give me said extra time.
I had an unofficial meeting with them before Easter, I think end of March, and they said they have to do some form of assessment with me ‘because it’s a different exam board’ (it’s not, both are WJEC) but they never did it. I do a very limited timetable so my parents needed to know what time the exams finish so they or a taxi knows when to pick me up, so they emailed the tuition centre yesterday to ask if the end time on my exam timetable was including the extra time but they said I don’t get any and the deadline was the 18th of March (which I think was before we even had that meeting).
They only told us because we asked. They said they didn’t have “sufficient evidence” despite my tutors telling them that they think I’ll need it and them being the ones who chose not to do the assessment. The first exam is tomorrow. I can’t afford to fail. This is literally the last thing I needed, I’ve been really struggling with my health a lot more lately so I haven’t had as much time to revise as I’d like so I was already stressed enough. What the hell do I do? Is there anything I can do?
Ps- sorry for any bad grammar, I’m really panicking (and fuming).
