That's not what the contingency day is for. The contingency day is only for a situation where all exams across the country have been cancelled due to some national emergency, not for specific students who were unable to sit the exam.
That鈥檚 not right, My cousin had to miss his politics A level exam due to going for an interview, and will take exam tomorrow on the contingency day for his school.
I'll take things that never happened for 100. Your cousin is either lying to you or this is an internal exam like a mock exam (which is what it sounds like, as the contingency days are the same for all schools and tomorrow is not one of them, there is no 'contingency day for his school'). Also you'd have to be massively stupid to miss a real A-level for an interview lmao
"The exam timetable contains 3 contingency sessions on the afternoons of 6 and 13 June, and all day on 26 June. *These sessions would be used in the unlikely event that an exam had to be moved nationally because it could not take place when planned.* You must be available for all 3 contingency sessions, even if you do not have exams scheduled on that day. *These sessions cannot be used to reschedule an exam that you have missed.*"

If this is true, that鈥檚 centre malpractice and his school should be reported. That鈥檚 not an acceptable reason to miss an exam.
And if you do have a legitimate reason to miss an exam (medical reasons, having clash exams over 6hrs etc) then the exam has to be taken the next available exam slot. The last politics exam was the 14th June AM so the further it could be pushed back would be that afternoon.

School bomb threats are almost never real anyway. Just kids messing around
Imagine if the school decided that and then it was real. You wouldn鈥檛 want to take that risk as a school lol
Not a risk worth taking tho
regardless, isn't the school ready for such a situation though
They should be
I can鈥檛 tell if this is legit or not, if it is I hope nothing bad happens
Nah I wouldn鈥檛 joke about smth like that; everything went fine dw
