I don't think any of the exams start till tomorrow (or maybe that's just the ones on in the RDS). And yes, I probably should be studying right now.
Good luck to all, including myself.

They started today that's for sure!
One down and two more to go.

I have to say the new exam number malarky is bizarre. It makes no sense to me.

Good God! Thanks for reminding me! I've yet to print out my exam card. *Curses system.*

Edit: I see they've changed the system again. *Double-curses system.*

Now, with three of my curses in situ, they've no hope. Maybe I won't even bother going to my exams and I'll just sit back and watch the system collapse before my evil eyes.

I'll be seeing you there... or maybe not seeing as I don't think I know what you look like...

Good luck everyone-especially those who have finals or anything that counts towards their final grade

Oh there were exams yesterday (Monday) in the RDS, boy do I know there was! Right back to the study.

What are you doing reading this? Good luck and all but shouldn't you be studying?

best of luck to all....I start today...matrices and vectors

dajaffa

Kicked off today with a manual therapy practical. Twas alright, made one boo-boo, but pretty sure I passed anyway. Practical/oral exams are really feckin intimidating thou, + I've LOADS of them!

Pythia

Advanced Micro - fine, a bit harder than last year's one, but fine.

Trade Econ - grand. Finished after an hour. Very predictable, no suprises.

No exams now til Monday!

Waltons

Was happy enough with stats. Did 4 questions out of the 5, but fecked up a few bits. Pretty much the same exam as a few years back

bluepencilcase

The very best of luck to all and sundry.

hullaballoo

Fantastic! First final exam, and I'm all prepared with my four guaranteed questions. Go in, sit down, and do the exam of a lifetime! Timed every question perfectly!

Come out, get a lift home with a mate who's cursing the exam all the way home. Get out of the car, and he says, "Aye, I also got a bit of a shock whenever I saw we'd to do five questions".

"You're taking the fucking piss".

He wasn't.

If I wasn't so afraid of the RAs, I'd put my fist through the wall.

panda100

Started yesterday!The one today went mega well..yipee!Though I think it was aided by the supereduper magic pen I got form the union stand!

Bets of luck to everyone.Remember at the end of the day its just an exam and there are a lot more important thngs in the world! And if you do feel a bit down after a crap exam then have a gander at this..It always makes me smile:)

Start tomorrow with a film viewing and discussion session on everything I've covered in the last three years - not good.

Can't find out what the exam actually entails at the moment - not impressive.

Haven't finished my record of clinical placement which has to be handed in tomorrow.

Just found out that my course now has compensation, this is unreal! However I still have a 50% pass mark unlike the year behind me. Boohoo. But yay!

It's so rare I say this: I love my course.

Raphael

Just back from my first exam, Japanese ab initio. Went pretty well, would have gone better if I'd done more study today. Oops...=p

Vorsprung

Started yesterday, had 2 MCQs towards the finals, went mnih. Clinical oral tomorrow, really not looking forward to it

SOB
I remember those days...
(that means its easy)

I'd Electro Magnetism (oh the joy)-we actually had to study for this one and Chinese ab initio which wasn't bad at all

rainbow kirby

2 exams today...

Networks was shite. But I knew I wasn't going to do well in it, and of the questions I'd prepared only 1 of them came up. Waffled a bit more but I reckon I'll be lucky if I pass.

Japanese stage 2 - not too bad. Spent too long on the reading comprehension, guessed a couple of the kanji readings and got so desperate for vocab in the writing part I ended up saying "Cork people are friendly" as a sentence... (the writing section was "Describe your country to a Japanese friend"). Pretty ok though in the end.

Chakar

Had my first exam today in Sociology which was Work and Social Stratification.It was grand had two essays to do in two hours so wrote three pages per essay.

I've got an exam in Individuals and State tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm.Then another on Saturday at 6pm which is Sociological Theory 2.

dajaffa

Had electrotherapy practical today. Patient with an acute injury, ultrasound treatment. Grand job really, 2 down 4 to go...

Cannibal Ox

@Chakar doing the same exams as you. I thought the Sociology one was fairly easy, I did Taylorism and the Marx and Weber question. I'm not looking forward to the Theory test though, the way the exams set is a bit of b*tch for studying, and some of that Critical Theory stuff is headwrecking.
Any chance your doing Power, Discourse and Political Action for politics?

Yeah I do nearly all of the modules for Politics and Sociology.I did Taylorism and Marx and Weber too! How many pages did you do Cannibal Ox? I did nearly three pages for each of the two questions.It was easy enough yeah.

The theory exam on Saturday yeah I've covered functionalism, Marx obviously and theory of communicative action.Still have to read critical theory and symbolism interactionism.

I'm doing Power and Discourse haven't done much reading tbh still have to do eight readings but I'm hoping to do the readings before the exam next week its quite interesting anyway so that makes it easier.

Stepherunie

Film viewing = pants.

Completely biased towards half the class.

Where were the skull images???

Opinion of all the class = school equal meanies.

Umaro

less than 2 hours til Marketing..

cruiserweight

Good luck to everybody doing exams! I kind of miss having to do exams, but I do not miss the studying

elmyra

Meh....

well, it all started out rather badly...the traffic was terrible and I lost €20 at some point between Tescos and my car....it took me 25 minutes to get from Fosters' Avenue, down the N11 to the turn off for Ballsbridge, and the girl behind me clearly had notes propped on her steering wheel and kept braking at the last second, making me think she was going to plough into me, silly girl.. (come on, it's not like I couldn't have done with being familiar with my notes too, but stop tryin' to kill people!).

Anyway...after all that...and parking being a joke...both the International Relations and Medicine and Modern Life history papers were utterly predictable. YAY! \o/. Mind you it would've been nice to be not-sick. It was incredibly frustrating to have ideas in my head that I was struggling to get down on paper cos my head was a giant mess of sinusy cloudiness and my chest infection was all yuck, but sure hey, it's over!

Free 'til Monday!

Waltons

Databases wasn't really half as bad as I was expecting it to be. Very similar to other years (at which I was fairly bad doing) but I got into the exam and everything just seemed to click, so hooray

Got Intermediate Microecon tomorrow morning at 11, and Discrete Maths at 6. Boooo!

Sangre

Agghhhh, Hulla! I'm so gutted for you, every students nightmare. Like doing both parts of an 'or' question. Ugh, so gutting. Hopefully you'll Ace the other 4questions.

On a side note, got the results of exams I sat in October (much harder than namby-pamby finals).

Vorsprung

Had last exam today, long case/clinical oral. Went well, had good patient who didn't waffle too much, examiners were pretty decent (including Hugh Brady's wife!) so can't complain. Off to have my first proper night out in about a month tonight, sweet!

Jonny Arson

Cultural Geography was a big MEH but I think I'll pass it. The expected questions appeared but were worded and presented quite differently which threw me off and affected my strategy. The first question I did was absolute **** but I saved my ass with the second question. This was my first proper essay style exam in a year and half so I felt really rusty when it came writing my answers and it certainly showed in my first question. I've really got to do address this by the Summer exams.

All over on Monday!

Umaro

Marketing wasn't too bad. Wasn't too bad at all at all wah.

Maybe I'm in A town for it, but it'll probably be B stuff. It's outta the way at least!

besty

Medical Law on Monday was grand, squeezing 4 essays in 2 hours is sick and wrong though! Business one tomorrow afternoon I have to learn my four essays for, then the big one on Friday, equity, which I have to learn everything for, and another business one on Saturday, wait for it...that I have to learn everything for!

Aside: Hulla, sorry to hear about your mishap. Knowing you and your flowery vocabulary, your first 4 answers will bag you a good mark regardless.

The_Minister

1) Hulla, that sucks. I feel sorry for you. They're your finals and everything. If all the questions were weighed equally then your're down 20% already, so you will pretty much have to do perfectly in the other four questions to get a 2:1. That really sucks.

2) Statistics, I think I passed it. Don't ask anything more. Don't.

You're really, really bad at making people feel better.

Stepherunie

For once Sangre I totally agree with you.

And Hulla if you did perfect answers for the others you'll still get a very good mark. And you've plenty of other exams to help bring you up. Chin up and stuff.
