    Large pe hall with 300 chairs and tables. Different for the actual exams though. In main school building.

    mocks are done. Business paper 2 was easy. I could answer all the short questions which helps. After the exams, over at 11.15, we went shopping centre. Got food and went to cinema. We all pitched in a euro to buy a soccer ball which we played with in the centres car park for 2 hours. Kicked ball onto cinema roof(quite an achievement as its a massive building). Went to friends house and had a playstation fest until 10.15

    Cool!

    What is everyones exam centers like?

    When I did my 5th year Xmas exams, I was sitting under a heater in the sports hall.

    Everyday I'd come in, sit down, notice my desk was coated in some ash, fine, ok, dust it off, get on with it.

    Then, on the morning of the Chemistry exam, I sat down and started my paper, about an hour into the exam, I felt a sharp pain in my arm, I look down, and there's some molten melts on my skin, burning me*. WTF, I flick it off, it falls onto my exam script, and kinda burned a little hole in it. One of the supervising teachers noticed smoke rising from my desk.....not fun. Still have a bit of a scar on my arm!

    *First reaction was thinking; WHO THE FÚCK JUST THREW LITHIUM AT ME :confused:

    So, my old exam centres were terrifying from then on, because I always got assigned that seat.

    Couldnt make this shít up!

    Haha that's quite funny! :D

    Didn't you ask to move or did you enjoy it? :eek:

    My exam centre changes from PE hall to another hall inside my school and a double classroom. PE hall is definatley the worst if you get stuck by the door you will freeze to death! :(

    I'm so glad mine were before midterm, otherwise i wouldn't have actually relaxed during the midterm. My irish teacher wanted them to be delayed until after because of the big freeze. What she really wanted was time off for us to study so she'd look like a good teacher when the results came back. :rolleyes: she isn't the worst teacher but she isn't the best either.

    I don't have my Music until after the midterm but if I heard a song like that [I'm such a fan even though the plot can be OTT :D] that would cheer me up considerbly during the exam :pac:

    Same as me so! ;)
    If I heard a song that was any bit like something I knew I would probably sing along but apparently you're not even aloud to tap (loudly) according to my teacher!:eek:
