    See, I was gonna start looking for the answer to this question myself when I was wondering about it a couple days ago, but then I thought, no, wait, the Boards will answer it for me when it comes time. And I was right! Good ol' Boards...

    Nine days - bank holiday on the 5th. Odds are they'll forget about this and have to draw up the entire timetable again.

    Knowing them they'll have them on the bank holiday.

    Also Somehow my sources got my exam timetable for me already. Then again I only have 1 exam, it's somewhat easier to locate.

    Where can the timetables be accessed, if/when they do come out? What's the link, like?

    6th - 16th May, is that correct/confirmed?

    Usually go up here: http://www.ucd.ie/registry/alu/timetables.htm.

    It also says the 6th-16th there, so I'd imagine that's definite. That includes Saturday. Last year I had a 9am Saturday exam. I was not happy.

    They're up now. God bless UCD, waiting until 4.45pm to up them up :p

    EDIT: Damn their oily hides! Not only do I have an exam at 9am on Saturday, I have 4 exams in 4 days, then 6 days (9am on the 16th) until my last one. BAH!

    6th - 16th has been set in stone since before Christmas, it was on all the forms sent out to invigilators.

    Not the best, 9 - 11 on Saturday, then a 7 hour gap until the nest one, I might even go home rather than have to hang around Simmonscourt.

    Thanks for the link, I knew it was quicker to get the info on boards than search the UCD website :D thanks a mill for the links.

    I don't know which is worse, your 7-hour gaps or my 1-hour gap between two 2-hour exams. I'm sure my brain is going to be completely fried for the second.

    I had that last semester, for my two worst subjects :( Went OK in the end though.

    This year I have my two 'doss subjects' (i.e. my elective and an interesting but incredibly wishy washy module) on the first day - these have always come at the very end for me before so I've left studying till the last minute. Not sure what to do about them now! :p

    4 exams spread out between the 6th and the 16th...I dont know whether to be happy because I'll have huge amounts of cramming time so I'll HAVE to do well or to be annoyed because it delays the start of my summer holidays too much...grrr.

    It is, but don't forget we lost a week of Fake Easter, and the fact that Fake Easter coincided with Real Easter this year meant we also lost Good Friday!

    Ah yeah, I suppose its not too bad. I had just convinced myself that since I only had 4 exams I'd get them all in the first week, being finished by May 9th would have been amazingly good...

    Absolutely, everyone should have as much time as possible to study and should also be finished as soon as possible. Typical of UCD to deny them this.
