Ours is in about 10 days. Haven't studied a bit, although I really should. My consolation is that I know what's on most of my Maths, Business, Geography, English, Business and Economics tests. How about the rest of ye?
And to the 6th years - good luck everyone:)
Our 5th years start tuesday, and some finish 4 days after on the friday.
And cheers.

They can't have any overlaps or it would kinda screw some of the students out of doing exams......

Overlaps?? Ehh overlaps were rife my friend....not directly, but I mean 6 exams over 2 days was not exactly a walk in the park, nor were the 9 (counting Eng p1 and 2 separately) HL streched out over 4 days, let me tell you. And what imbecile came up with the notion of putting English p2, History and Maths on the same day? Likewise Irish, Chem and French?? Talk about inducing Insomnia..well for me anyway. After I had cleared the house of coffee, I resorted to Berocca Boost, which really was completely ineffective. After desperately dissolving 3 tabs in about 25ml of water, I still resembled a Dementor / Gremlin extra. How do you prioritise between Irish, French and Chem / History, English and Maths when they're all HL?? For most of us, each is just as important as the other. I get that the school were trying to get them over with asap, but really, rendering some of the students terminally and irrevocably exhausted in the process was entirely unnecessary, especially considering it's only 5th year. But I suspect this does not apply to our John Lenihan herestraight_As wrote: »I only have the eight, the school has around thirty.

Exams over - leave down the beroca!0 -

Ours started on the 26th (Tuesday) and we finished at 12.30 on the Friday! I had 2 exams a day and a study period for the 4 days but some girls in my year had 2 days of 3 exams so that was tough on them!
The option teachers gave their different classes the same exams, so one of the Chemistry classes had theirs on Tuesday so my class knew exactly what was coming up on Thursday and the same with the Biology classes the other way around... Probably not going to do us much good in the end but I was happy
Got my report yesterday, but we didn't get a German result because my teacher went on maternity leave 2 weeks before the exams and didn't tell us she was going. We were left with some idiot supervising us and with no work or any idea of what was going to come up on the exam. It turned out grand but so annoyed that we got no results after all the effort!
If I get the same results in my Leaving, I'll get 565 0 -
