I woke up today with a sore throat and then in the middle of the day I got a fever and chills. The fever is now 101, but it's been rising throughout the day and I think it will be higher tomorrow. I have two exams tomorrow (I'm in college) and I just have no idea if I should tough it out or get a doctor's note? I almost want to just get them over with, but I'm scared I'll do badly on them because I'm sick and they're not easy exams either.

Since there is no 100% guarantee that you will feel better or worse in the morning, you should prepare to be present for your exams. Take a fever reducer (or call your doctor for further suggestions, although there's nothing to be done but to nurse the symptoms if it truly is the flu), do your reviews and then go to bed to get a good night's sleep.
If you are tremendously worse in the morning, you should go for a medical evaluation and get a doctor's note specifically stating that it was medically not possible for you to be present during finals.
Some professors are more understanding than others and sympathize that illnesses do not only manifest on non-test days. Others are not so understanding. Either way, good luck to you for A's and a speedy recovery.

It depedns on the level of your intention towards the exams. Look if you have a fever that's gone up to 101 degrees, you probably need to get a doctor's certificate or letter. Just show that to your university or college and you should be able to get them deferred without any problem. Sick leave is a legitimate reason as to why you'd want to get a day off in between exams and that you can actuall get time to recover from your fever. All the best to you!

Go to your exams. A doctors note will not get you an extension on every exam. Some professors will post the solutions right after the exam and that's it - you've failed. Email the profs to explain that you're sick - now - and maybe they'll give you an extension, but don't just skip. That looks very bad.

Dr.'s note, don't make other people sick and don't fail your test. This is a no-brainer. Someone with a weak immune system could become critically ill with your air-borne virus. Your professor will understand. You have a fever. Drink lots of fluids and get some rest.

definite they are going to place your ft in stirrups. They do for each gynecological examination no remember what share you have had. Why in the worldwide have you ever waited see you later to have one? the conventional age to have one is around 18. they are going to placed an device interior and inspect your cervix and uterus. that's especially uncomfortable, notwithstanding it does not particularly 'harm'. that's a distinctive feeling and not elementary to describe. they are going to probable do a pap smear on an identical time. that is while they use an prolonged cotton swab (kinda like a q-tip in basic terms longer and eliminate some cells from the cervix for sorting out for any abnormalities. stable success!

you should phone the examiners or teachers for explaining your circumstances. It better come with the doctor certificate, just in case. Following the direction or procedure of the sick student in your examination guide, it always have the directions for candidate to follow. If the examiners also agree for your exemption for exam, you should stay at home, take rest for recover your health in order to prepare for the better result. Take Care!

Tough it out. I just took 3 finals today while my daughter is in the hospital (had my brother come sit with her(\) Just don't get too close to anybody either. Either do it now while it's fresh or make it worse when you are better and have forgotten what you learned!!!
Either ways, good luck to you!

Go prepared to take it-- if your professors let you retake it after you explain your sickness, GO HOME. You'll do better. If not, you'll just have to tough it out. But at least try to get an extension...

call your professors in the morning and let them know you are sick and ask if you can make up the exams another day. you dont want to compromise your grade because you are sick.
