Lovely, it's the same as last year. I've only one full day of exams (Monday 13th, maths in the morn and Irish in the afternoon).

aingel

I've only one full day but I'm in for 7 days straight and finished on the thrursday. not totally sure whether thats a good or a bad thing :rolleyes:

**Timbuk2**

It's the same as the one I had, in 2010. For anyone doing Physics and Accounting - it's a horribly long day :P

Bottleopener

In until the last day :P. Oh well, nice long breaks in it.

Bbbbolger

Biology and Art History...realy not looking forward to that. My hand will be wrecked after that!

Am I reading this right??
We get an extra 20 minutes for the Subjects Marked in red??

Day 1: English Paper 1 - Not too bad I suppose
Day 2: Engineering and English Paper 2 - I'd have much preferred Paper 2 to be in the morning. I don't want to have poetry quotes flowing through my mind in the middle of an Engineering exam.
Day 3:Maths Paper 1 - Good timing being straight before the week end.
Weekend Off
Day 4:Maths Paper 2 and Irish Paper 1 - Nasty combination of my two worst subjects. Dreading the weekend before this monday.
Day 5:Irish Paper 2 and Business - A combination that came straight out of hell.
Day 6:French - Nothing bad to say here
Day 7:Biology - Nothing bad to say here
Day 8, Weekend and Day 9:My first days off
Day 10:Chemistry - Have 4 days to study chemistry so shouldn't be too bad.

It's going to be a hellish two weeks alright.


Edit:

The examination sessions highlighted in red include 20
minutes over and above the time traditionally allocated for the
papers concerned.

Why?

There has to be a reason for it though. They wouldn't just add 20 minutes for the sake of it. If they change the exam layout or add an extra question it'll be a nightmare.

No we don't get an extra 20 mins for the subjects marked in red. It said that last year & it wasn't the case.

Ian_K

Hopefully its just because of people not being able to finish the papers in previous years! finger crossed

If they were to add extra questions or whatever i presume we would be notified?

musicloverx

no I doubt there would be extra questions without us notified.,not to bad kind of what I expected,.roll on june 16th is all I can say, scarily reading this timetable has made me kinda more motivated..seen as I ain't very much these days:rolleyes:

jumpguy

No, they are highlighted in red as they are over 20 minutes longer than the traditional exam time allowable (ie. the amount of time usually allowed for the other exams). The traditional time allowable is 2 hours 30 minutes for higher level exams, and 2 hours for ordinary level exams. English, for example, is highlighted in red as it 2 hours 50 minutes long, 20 minutes longer than the standard exam time.

There is no change to the lenght of time allowable for the exams this year.

They said that on the timetable last year and it wasn't the case. There is no extra time for the subjects highlighted in red.

Chuchoter

They've put the two English papers on separate days! Thats lovely, I hope they do that next year for me too

The time in red is the total time including the extra time. An exam with 2 hours 50 minutes originally had 2 hours 30 minutes.

Wow, this is a kick up the bum... It's slowly sinking in that my LC starts in just over 5 months.:(

Anybody know what happens when you have two exams at the same time? I have both Religion and App Maths at the same time on the 24th

As far as I know, you'll have to sit one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. See subject clashes here: http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=sb

Yeap on that marked in red business. As far as I know, the first time the curriculum was tested you were say given 2hrs and 30 mins. They then added 20 mins on a few years later. So you do actually have an extra 20 mins than was originally intended.

One guy in my school had this happen to him too. You do one exam, then he was taken into the staff room for 10 or 15 minutes to get some food (supervised of course) then did the other.

Thank you, at least I have some idea now:)

ConstantJoe

Only two days where I've more than one exam on, not bad.

Though I've a feeling motivating myself for 3 days after everyone else is done for my applied maths exam will be fairly awful.

karaokeman

3 full days. There all horrible days as well, exams which require huge amounts of concentration (Maths) or take a **** load of writing (Geo, History). Have a 6 day break between History though and Chemistry on the 21st. Final exam is on the 23rd. Can't wait for it to be over, next 5 months will go by quick as fúck.

When they do they usually announce what day they're giving out results on?

karaokeman

Dabestman1 and everybodylies, thanks so much for posting my exam dates and times.

I can now put those times into my journal and I will be able to plan my week ahead.

Best of luck in your exams too.
