Exams!!!!!!!

SarahChambers

:eek: I hate exams!!

I didn't know how I was going to do, and then I did two, and I still don't know how I am going to do!!! I am pretty sure I kicked ass in one of them, but the other one I don't know. I have three left and one of them is going to be easy (I hope!!!:D) and then party!!!! Can't wait for Christmas holidays!!

How are all of you doing?

JBUCD

2 down. 1 exam was hard but I expected that. Other exam was easy. Have four exams left. None of them easy but I dont think I should have a problem with them anyway. Exam tommorow at 6.00

3 down and 4 to go!

I have to say Sarah, I expected more from one of your threads.

Chucky the tree

I was looking forward to in depth detail on the ass kicking her exam got but was left disappointed as well Notorious.

1 down, 4 to go, amount of chocolate being eaten while studying is increasing by more than I'd like.

Notorious

You can pass some of that chocolate my way if you want. I'll gladly take it off your hands.

Perhaps you want to redeem yourself Sarah?

SarahChambers

Ah come back Sarah..and where did that LOGIC guy disappear to?

WeeBushy

2 down, 3 to go. Reasonably happy with the first two. Its my last exam next tuesday I'm dreading. It's a 10 credit module and is disgracefully difficult:(

I'm surviving on red bull these days, however when I get home Im still so wired that I can't sleep which means I'm knackered the next day so need to drink more red bull... It's a vicious circle.

I suppose this is the place for exam-related ranting too? First exam today, first in 19 months actually. For a college whose library staff take silence and study atmosphere so seriously, it's an awful pity the invigilators in the RDS don't take preventative measures against exam disturbance.

First of all I'd like to congratulate whoever thought it'd be a good idea to send people in to exams with lollipops. Now I know we all need a bit of sugar every now and then to give us a lift, but not in the exam hall. A girl two rows over from me in the main hall this morning spent 4 minutes (I'm not exaggerating) of a one hour exam wrestling with the plastic around her lolly, trying to get it off. Drew a lot of negative attention from the people around her who were trying to get on with the task at hand, but the invigilators remained oblivious throughout. If you're gonna suck on a lolly in your exam, get a special needs assistant to help you get the foil off. Or better still save lolly sucking in academic settings for Britney Spears videos.

Secondly, women should be banned from wearing high heels in exam halls. I thought the horse show had returned to the RDS prematurely at a quarter to two today. They should be informed in advance to bring a change of footwear, or face removing them before admission to the halls. It's not a fashion show, I don't care if you're going to Crowes afterwards, the exam hall doesn't need clip clop sounds effects every time you need to use the toilets.

I've also heard from colleagues that the Industries Hall features a very annoying swinging door that creates draughts for those sitting nearby, and must swing, like a pendulum, to a close every time it's opened by those using the toilets during exams.

(sadly or gladly?) that i never see girls wear high heels in exams:D

but thats just madness!!!who wear high heels to exams???

UCD student:pac::pac::pac:

MADNESS!!

Bring some earplugs next time or report the person to the invigilator. The invigilator has to look over about 100+ students each so its not an easy task

Yep, it happens. Obviously not stilettos open to the elements, but plenty of girls there today in ankle boots, some in knee high boots with a heel, all making a dreadful racket with their footwear of choice.

I don't think it's fair to expect the student to incur any extra expense or have to adjust to using earplugs, I don't study with them, therefore I won't do my exam with them. The invigilators should be on the look-out for these things, and the SU, if that's who gives out the sweets in plastic packaging, should get their act together and think about what's really needed going into the exam. I don't know, maybe earplugs for all would be better than lollipops for some on the way into exams?

Ever try putting up your hand and saying this to the invigilator? Could have sorted your lollipop problem instantly.

Ah come on, it's an exam hall with around a thousand or so students in it. I had an exam on tuesday and i found it grand. The whole process was done professionally in my opinion.. Even when people left after the one hour exam it wasn't overly distracting.

No need to take a seat upon your high horse and knit pick out minor discomforts you had.

I had two hot invigilators in my section yesterday, one was wearing a denim mini-skirt(tights underneath it), how's a guy supposed to pay attention? The other girl just had jeans and a t-shirt but she still was still fine looking.

On another note, no more exams for me... ever!:D

MrKingsley

Started yesterday with a **** exam. Was really well prepared but the paper wasnt nice to me. 3 more to go. At this stage i dont care just want to be finished and out of here

damselnat

I realised on Monday afternoon that I had an exam on Tuesday...:eek:
That'll teach me to be more conscientious about checking my exam timetable, I nearly had a heart attack, I thought I had none till next week.....
Have completely lost any motivation and ability to study, and keep getting distracted by the interweb and the fascinating people that inhabit the library.....

Gosh, you sound like a riot. Stop being so bloody pedantic.

First one was on Tuesday, went so-so: Modern Architecture. Went into the exam with marks from CA and attendance already so definitely a pass... not sure how decent a pass, though. Next two are on Saturday at 9am (Modernism and Utopia) and 6pm(Contemporary Theory of Performance)- my last ones. Past papers for the former are ridiculous. No pattern at all and very difficult questions. Performance is predictable so hopefully will be fine... having said that, I attend about 12% of my lectures and tutorials for that module!

Five down, three more to go. Just a pity I'm not finished until the 18th. Oh well!!!

They seem especially hot this year...I had one in a short dress and tights who decided to sit on the table opposite me today! I possibly wrote several paragraphs unwittingly saying "you're a fine looking girl". I revert to being from the country when I'm being pervy for some reason....

Exam wise two to go, so far so good. As I always say...next semester will be different!

Jaybl

First exam I hopefully passed. But the last two went briliant. Linear models was grand thankfully so thats all the maths done now. Three more to go but got my worst exam out of the way so Im not too worried now.

Chet T16

No. 4 up today. First and second went fine but yesterdays was a disaster, nothing was clicking for me and i really doubt i managed a pass.

Believe me I'd put up with the surly, middle aged student if it meant not spending approx. 20% of the exam watching some hottie in a polka-dot dress wiggle past every 3 minutes!!

Fun in almost all other aspects of life but sadly not during exams

2 down, 3 to go. Today's one wasn't too bad (which surprised me because I really thought it would be a stinker), and the one I have tomorrow evening is only worth 30% of my grade in that subject.

Geopolitics down, great questions today!

3 left, tomorrows Financial + Advanced Macroeconomics double is going to be a killer!

first exam tomorrow...Databases is not gonna be fun! just wanna get it over and done with so i can get trashed and take it easy until my exams on wednesday and thursday!

Handsome Bob

It's gonna be short and hopefully painless for me, first one tomorrow and the last one on Monday. Both at nice times (12) so hopefully they'll be over before I knows it. :cool:

Yeah me too. Around 9.30 I felt really exhausted. I felt like putting my head down on the desk for a nap. I got up to go to the loo thinking the walk would wake me up. On my way back I noticed a girl in my row asleep on her desk :eek:

Anyway, one more tomorrow and last one on Tuesday. The two I've done so far were ok I think.

Sad Professor

Politics this morning went okay, I think. Half was really good, half was a bit waffley, but hopefully I did enough to pass.

3 more left.

Worst is one is tomorrow - philosophy. Have absolutely nothing done, considering not even going tbh. My brain is refusing to take anything in.
