    I hate how they're called Autumn exams. Very misleading.

    Everywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere recognises Autumn as technically beginning in September... no idea why Ireland has to be awkward as usual and pretend it's in August. Some old ancient calender thing I suppose.

    The beginning of Autumn is marked by the Sept Equinox everywhere else.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_calendar
    The beginning the seasons is roughly the halfway points between solstice and equinox:
    • Spring - February, March, April.
    • Summer - May, June, July.
    • Autumn - August, September, October.
    • Winter - November, December, January.

    August is the beginning of Autumn on the irish calendar.

    Mét Eirinn uses the meteorological that has it for September-November.

    Semester 1 are considered Winter/Christmas exams.
    Semester 2 are considered Summer exams.

    Like I said, EVERYWHERE ELSE in the Northern Hemisphere recognises that Autumn begins after the Equinox.

    It's never rested well with me that August is the beginning of Autumn...... I've always considered it a Summer month. So I've turned my back on the Irish calender. Don't deport me pls.

    You can sit them again in December/May - depending which semester the exams are from.

    Unless you defer, your marked as a fail.
