Hey

So I just checked my exam schedule and this is what's it like:

Dec 11 - Exam 1 at 7:30pm
Dec 12 - Exam 2 at 12:30pm and Exam 3 at 4:00pm

I'm freaking out because they're so close together...does this count as "three consecutive exams within two days" as part of the exam policy? Can I go to the registrar and plead to get this changed?! If not any tips to help study for and get through this madness?!?!

I am not trying to be the bearer of bad news but to my knowledge they won't do anything. I have dealt with terrible schedules as well unfortunately. I even know someone who spoke to them because they had 5 in two days and they simply said if you have time to walk from one room to the next, you are capable of writing them!!! :S

So...study in advance and best of luck!

they are allowed. You cant have 4 exams in 2 days tho (1 morn 1 afternoon 1 night 1 morn)

Okay I guess it is what it is, thank you!!

Actually, if the 12:30pm one is 3 hours long, then it counts as a conflict:

The following types of problems should be reported to the Examinations Office Room114, Gilmour Hall after the final timetable is posted. A minimum of ten working days prior to the scheduled examination date is required to facilitate the re-scheduling of examinations.

1. More than one examination scheduled at the same time.
2. Three examinations in one calendar day (midnight to midnight).
3. Three consecutive examinations over two days.
4. Two consecutive examinations if first one is 3hrs long for December exams only.

You don't meet the criteria for #3 because your first exam is at 7:30pm and the second one is at 12:30pm, but there's also a 9am timeslot in between - so they're not consecutive.

I don't believe there are any timeslots between 12:30 and 4pm though. If there aren't, and if your 12:30 exam is 3 hours long, then you can get one of them moved (problem #4 above).

Thanks for the tip starfish, they moved my 4:00pm exam to 7:30pm which isn't my ideal but it's better than having half an hour in between.
