    I am having a difficult home life at the min which my lecturer knows about about. I have attended counsselling in college and have a letter to say that I am struggling with studies as a result. I intend to sit my exams but wondering if I handed in the letter would it make a difference to my results ie is it possible they mark me less harder due to my situation? Any advice or experiences let me know cheers

    Perhaps try and defer your exams if you're circumstances have left you in a position unfit to take them? Not sure if they will mark you "easier". Maybe if you were on the borderline for passing they would take it into consideration.

    If you have attended counselling then you are on the right path. you have talked to your lecturers/course director/head of year.
    Don't worry so much about anything more about this and focus as much as you can about the exams.
    I don't do well in exams, anxiety issues. My lecturers didn't make them any easier than others but understood that I wasn't able to show my best self in terms of the paper and took this into account. They wont mark you less than others but will help you where they can.
