As a starting point, allergies and/or asthma do not provide the basis for individual adaptations during examinations. The Norwegian universities jointly obtained a medical assessment about whether there is a requirement for individual adaptation for asthma/allergy sufferers during examinations. The conclusion was that current medications do not create any significant sedative effect that would impair one’s performance during an examination.
In serious/special circumstances, a brief amount of additional time may be granted to rest and/or take necessary medication during a written examination.
If a candidate is suffering from an allergy or asthma to the extent that he/she is unable to sit/complete the examination, he/she can submit a medical certificate documenting illness on the day of the examination and be granted access to register for a re-scheduled examination.
