Provision has been made for candidates who are prevented from attending the test on 25 July 2012, as a result of a genuine and unanticipated illness or misadventure, to sit the test on one alternative date. This provision exists for cases of demonstrable difficulty; it is not available for a candidate who, for example, fails to register on time or is suffering from a cold or other minor illness on the test day.
In order to be considered for testing on the alternative date a candidate must:
* where possible, notify ACER in writing (email or fax are acceptable) at least one week before the 25 July 2012 test date AND provide clear and detailed medical justification from a registered health professional. A medical certificate stating ‘unspecified illness’ is NOT sufficient.
OR
* in the case of significant unanticipated illness on 25 July 2012, provide written evidence to ACER no later than 3 working days after the test date, and provide a statutory declaration or other evidence acceptable to the UMAT Office outlining the circumstances preventing attendance on the main test date. A medical certificate stating ‘unspecified illness’ is NOT sufficient.
Each case will be reviewed on its merits.
The alternative test date in 2012 will be scheduled within two weeks of the main test date. This will be the only alternative test date available in 2012 and will only be available at major centres.
Candidates who are unable to sit the test on 25 July 2012 because they fail to bring their Admission Ticket or correct photo-bearing identification, or who arrive after the doors have closed, are not eligible to sit on the Alternative Test Date.
