It is a good idea to take some water with you and drik if you cough. Then' apologise to your examiner and continue with your task.

You dream and we fulfil!

The human body is an excellent machine. It knows to operate diligently (subconscious, of course) during essential times. This test is one such situation. Hence, your question becomes null and void. However, should it still happen, albeit hypothetically, there will be remedies. Don't bother.

It will not affect your band score directly, but if it influences your answers, then you have to blame only you.
