    It is really unfair, my Europe essay was really rushed towards the end because I ran out of time. If I knew the guy that got extra time I'd report it to the SEC.
    Ya, I hate when an exam comes down to time, as in a lack of it.
    I'm quite a slow writer and I don't write use joint writing either so :pac:
    I can't understand why they give you an hour or two too much in some subjects but then give you far too little in others? It makes no sense. The exams shouldn't favour 'fast writers'. Ridiculous.

    does anyone else thin this is really unfair?? i do!!!

    If true, it's very unfair indeed.

    However, the school exam secretary needs to fill out a report of 'unusual happenings' which would include an exam going on a half hour longer than normal, so it would be recorded then. The time the papers are sent from the post office would also be a bit late.

    I'm not sure there might not have been a bit of exaggeration on the part of the poster, but it's disgraceful if it happened.

    *edit* It's a one post poster, so it's probably a troll.

    I was soo jammy for that paper!

    Leart about 6 essays and 2 and a half came up!!!

    That technology of war was brill!
    Wrote 6 pages!
    Was up on the department sample paper so was obviously going to come up some time!:D
    Butt and parnell was handy!:rolleyes:
    But the topic 3 irish one got 2 pages and a bit!:confused:
    I would say a B1!:D:D:D


    But the person who sets the paper is a prick!
    Weaker students should at least have a shot with obvious essays on it like churches and holocaust to make sure they do alright too!
