    yup. but i finished on wednesday :)

    On the schol vs. hols thing, after doing them I think its pretty much down to personal opinion. I know I'm glad I did them because it made me do a little bit of study (otherwise I would have done feck all and be totally screwed for the summer). I dont think I did extremely well, I didnt work hard enough (compared to some people :eek: ), but even if I get an exemption in one subject that would take the pressure off a bit. And if I dont, ah well thats life :)

    Yeah it is crap that you dont get any hols, but I was pretty lucky with my timetable...I had 3 in one week, then 3 days off, another exam, then 8 days off till my last. Since I didnt have to really study for the last one (was the easiest), I pretty much got a week holiday anyway, which was nice!

    Also different courses are easier to do schols in than others. For science, loads of people get schol in maths, but not as many in physics..

    So basically it depends!!

    phew i need a rest after all that typing... ;)
