After spending the night at a friend's house, she arrived promptly at 9 a.m., still wearing the clothes she slept in, at Sacred Heart school in Hammersmith for the test.
"It was my Chemistry GCSE and that's what I want to do in my A-levels next year so I thought maybe it was necessary to do it," Alves told the Telegraph, referring to the UK exams taken at 16 and then 18 respectively.
Alves was reportedly told she wouldn't have to sit for the exam, due to the obvious extenuating circumstances, but she was determined to take it regardless.
"My sister couldn't sleep, so she studied for the exam instead."
"We realized about 3 a.m. that our flat had been destroyed and despite being at a friend's house, my sister couldn't sleep," Alves' brother Tiago told Metro. "My sister couldn't sleep, so she studied for the exam instead."
The Alves family's entire home was destroyed in the blaze, which left at least 17 dead and dozens more injured. Alves' father is credited with saving the lives of about a dozen neighbors by knocking on doors to wake them up.

Her decision to take the exam was roundly commended online.
