3 Exams in 1 Day!!!
So I just checked my MUGSI exam schedule and I have three consecutive exams in one day...

Econ 1BB3 at 9:00 a.m.
Earth Sci 2EI3 at 12:30 p.m.
Bio 3FF3 at 19:30 p.m.

I tried calling and they told me to come in on Monday and fill out a form and when I asked her my likelihood, she didin't seem confident in her answer.

So I'm kinda REALLY freaking out and I was wondering what are my chances to have this fixed.

And also, what happens, do I write the exam sometime during the exam period or when they write deferred exams or what?

So guidance would be appreciated..

If you have three exams within one day, rest assured, one will get rescheduled. I believe they have a period of time at the end of the normal exam period when you can write, but I'm not too sure. Someone here will be able to give you a better answer, but your situation seems promising in your favor for sure!

I had somewhat of a similar situation and I went into the exam department in GH 114 today and basically my situation is that on Dec 12 I have an exam from 12:30pm to 3:30pm and another exam on the same day at 4:00pm, so I filled the form and they said that what they would do is I'd write my exam at the next time slot -- 7:30 instead of 4:00pm ... so in your case they might just move your last exam to the next time slot, maybe the day after, but I might be wrong! I don't think they'd make it a deferred exam though! Good luck!

You will get one switched.
they only don't switch if you have them spread over two days. Last year for example, I had an afternoon and evening exam, then one the next morning. They were all within 24 hours, however, since they were separated by a different calendar date it did not count.

I am also in earth sci 2ei3. If it is anything like his water exam, there is not much preparation you can do. So I would not stress to hard about that one being sandwiched between two exams.
