After you have completed the online Derived Exam Rating Application and Consent form for students, the TASC Medical Certificate needs to be completed by a medical practitioner (a registered GP, paediatrician or a hospital doctor only):
- no more than seven (7) days before the exam OR
- two (2) business days after the exam.
A medical practitioner (registered GP, paediatrician or a hospital doctor) must provide a specific medical diagnosis of your illness and an assessment of whether you are fit to sit an exam due to a condition that is newly diagnosed/temporary or deterioration in an ongoing condition. Other health professionals (such as pharmacists, nurses and psychologists) cannot provide the same level of medical diagnosis of an illness. A medical certificate that simply states you were unfit for work/study is NOT acceptable.
Your medical practitioner is to submit the form directly to TASC within three (3) days of your appointment. You will be advised by TASC by email if your medical certificate has been accepted and you will receive derived results.
If you are having difficulties applying for derived exam ratings, please contact TASC so we are aware of your situation and can help advise you.
Note: The application forms are available seven (7) days before the external assessments start.
