Postponing the exam due to illness
Getting sick right before an exam is very annoying because you may have spent a lot of time preparing and then you are physically unable to take the test. Sometimes it is entirely possible to reschedule the appointment due to illness. This depends on the respective school or study regulations.

- In the case of a school leaving test (e.g. B. Abitur exam) it is also usually regulated in such a way that it is possible to catch up in the event of illness.
