3 Exams in a Row?
I was looking at the exam schedule and it says "three consecutive examination sittings" can be a problem, does this mean three in one day, right after the other, or three over the span of three days? Cause I would really like to get at least one of them switched if possible.

I'm not really sure what "Three consecutive examinations over two days" means so...yeah...

Strategy likes this.

I think it means if you have an exam in one of the last slots on Day 1, and on the first slots in Day 2.

3 over the span of three days isn't considered a conflict at all. It's pretty common.

14, 15, 16. I started studying a lot earlier, hoping to finish off with a 10.2, or so.

you have to make sure it was in a row. last year i had one at 7:30 on night and one at 12 noon and then one on the next slot (i think 4) on the second day but it didnt count since i didnt have a 9am one

It has to be 3 consecutive examination slots. Everything else is fair game and you are certainly not alone. Last year I wrote 4 exams in the first 3 days of the examination period.

What you would need is:

14: 730-1030PM
15: 900-12 (noon)
15: 1230-3:30

for it to count.
