7. What if I am late in submitting the test due to some unavoidable circumstances?
A. Delay in submissions is accepted if there were genuine reasons. What is expected is to write the reason of delay on the answer sheet if it is a genuine one it will be accepted without deductions... if it wasn't an unavoidable thing thn one might have a couple of marks deducted for late submission. Either way it is better, one writes the test because the certificates are only given to those who write both the tests.
If there is a private reason thn one can write the same, as in “I could not submit due to unavoidable but a private reason”; InshaAllah we will trust the brother/sister and not deduct any marks.
