Exam concessions

We used to get the occasional request when people had broken an arm or suffered a bereavement. 

Sometimes they are for people with a disability.

This year I heard one of the silliest.

A child wants to do his/her exam in a separate room as they find the sight and sound of people writing very distressing. So how have they managed to cope for the last 10 or 11 years in a class full of students?
