    Good luck :)

    Honestly, the whole thing is a disaster ... half the people trying to do the exams will be late because of traffic delays, if they can get there at all!

    I'm not in until next week, the 13th ... So things should be back to normal by then!

    its nuts if it still goes ahead, obviously there is widespread chaos, the college has a responsibility and surely safety is on their agenda??

    :eek:

    That's awful. Surely if so many people are facing major traffic delays and issues with being on time for the exams, they'll have to start cancelling or postponing them ... They can't just make everyone repeat in August!

    I'm coming from citywest and the roads are really really bad, My exam is at 7 so i'll be leaving here at 17:30 and hoping that its enough time to get there!

    tbh even if I had to crawl i'd still go, repeating sucks!!

    Just on that note, thought I'd post a link to the Dublin Bus website.

    All the information about affected bus routes and services is on the homepage.

    The bus I usually get to college is only going as far as The Spawell at the moment ... Totally screwed if the weather conditions stay the same or worsen (as expected)... I won't be able to even get to Tallaght, let alone the exam hall!

    Quick question. Exam I have on Saturday is worth 60% of the subject, 40% was in CA's. I got an A in one CA worth 20% and a C in the second one worth 20%. How does this add up? Would it be about 25% overall or what?

    You probably have closer to 30% for those 2 CA's

    That means then I only need 10% or thereabouts from my written exam on Saturday?
