Well, if you have a legitimate note from a doctor (or if there is another reason, you need a pretty good reason) you will be rescheduled to write in February during reading week. You need to fill out a "Document for Special Consideration" which you would attach for instance a doctors note to. I think they are specific to each faculty.

Depending on the sickness, you'll probably perform better right now as compared to the rewrite I believe..

Unless you are very sick, I wouldn't recommend delaying it. It will only be harder after not looking over the material for over a month and you will have no one to help you study

Unless you're really sick, I'd recommend writing it. I am done exams now, but I had 3 exams in 4 days and had tinnitus so bad that I probably got 12 hours of sleep total from the night before my first exam and my last and I wrote all 3. Personally, I think I'd forget so much if I deferred it and also bear in mind that you will probably have many other things that you'd rather/have to do over reading week.

I know that sounds like terrible news....but it's my honest opinion.
