They test you on material that you learned during lectures that week....and btw you can change your test time slot to a later time.

That's how they did it last year. I had lectures on Monday and Tuesday then the test on Friday so it wasn't so bad. Anyways, it is up to the prof on what material will be tested on the weekly test, so I doubt if your test and lecture are both on Friday, that material will be testable instead Friday's material will be testable for next week's test.
Edit: Just read that you have classes on Thursday and Friday, in that case, I would assume that they test last week's material.

Doesn't everyone consider Kin 1Y03 and 1YY3 basically bird courses? Or at least very easy, good courses? I'm not sure what you're worried about.

Yeah im assuming that too and hopefully that's the case.....it has to be like that
And another thing is i can put my Lab for Kin on either Wed/thursday. Do you think its better to place it on wed?...cuz im thinking they could/would ask that on the test since its not the day of but then again classes are on thursday/friday...which is weird ><

Lab material is testable only every 2 week after everyone has gone to the labs. Anyways, if the lab section fits well during wed like no other labs then I guess it's generally better since you will better be able to remember the material for the test. I had my labs on Monday and had to basically re-study the lab details before every test.

Oh Well there is only one class for Kin 1Y03 during the entire year, and so that means it is testable material during the week of the Lab.....hmmm.....
N well if i place it on Wed then ill have Bio 1M03 (lecture), then right after that Math 1LS3 Tutorial (which i heard is nothing but taking up questions and right after that ill have Kin Lab... so ive placed it for now on Thursday where i have two hours before and after the Kin lab...its very spaced out that day. Though i still have one thing to put into the timetable. But ill see i guess

I just recommend working hard, taking the time to read through the readings, study for tests and you should be fine. Worrying about what is "12-able" or not isn't a good strategy for university or life. Eventually you will have to take a course required for your program that "isn't 12-able". It's better to learn how to adapt and do well at any course now than later.
