I use to do this all the time...
1) if you have an original sick note from a previous doctor visit, all you need to do is photo copy it...Then white-out the date on the copy, and make another copy...Fill in a new date, and take to your school...
2) Don't go to your regular doctor, go to a Walk-in-Clinic and use the same symptoms as before...
3) If you are crazy like me, forge a sick note...Make sick note document using MS Word, and sign your doctor's signature, and fill out the medical complaints yourself...
4) If you have good relationship with your doctor, just go to him or her, and tell him or her, you were very stressed, sleepless, and feeling depressed, and it made it hard for you to prepare for the exam, and ask them for sick note...
Nobody is going to call your doctor to confirm, because there are doctor patient confidentiality and privacy issues...
Basically, it's a bullsh+t system that the schools have in place...
If a student doesn't want to write an exam at a particular time, he or she should be allowed to write it at more convenient time, without having to go through the hassle of obtaining sick notes...
