EXAM CLASH

[iBlueBox]

If you have two exams that clash at the same time and they both add up to 3 hours, Are you allowed to sit one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon?

What is the issue? You will sit them consecutively, I've had to do this in the past, and 3 hours is nothing. I have 3 hour individual exams, so if I had a clash, I'd have 6 hours.

If you can't sit them consecutively, you'll be kept in isolation until the next exam start period. Depends how your school/college/university organises their exams.

Because after sitting an 75 minute exam and then going into 135 minute exam straight afterwards going to be pretty difficult remembering all the information after that 75 minute exam.

1. 2.10 If candidates are taking two or more papers timetabled in a session and the total time ismore than three hours including extra time and/or supervised rest breaks, you may conductan examination in a later or earlier session within the same day, without the need to completeany paperwork. Prior permission from an awarding body is not required. However, thesecurity of the examination must still be maintained.

Sounds like you can choose then. Either take them consecutively, which I would prefer, or go into isolation which means no contact with the outside world between exams. So you and an invigilator alone together until the next exam period.

I would do them consecutively but because the style of the RE exam is to remember one long essay of by heart I would need a break between them,

It depends though what you can do in isolation, I've never been in isolation before so I wouldn't know. I'd assume you would be able to take revision notes in for the next exam, but I'd ask first.

Why would you study RE?!

Why would you study RE?!

Because I love Philosophy and Ethics, thats what the whole course is,
I love the ethical situations and theories but philosophical discussions such as the teleological argument, I've always loved RE since primary school and have always done pretty good in it.

The way it always worked in my school is that you'd sit one exam in the morning (say from 9-12) then you'd have a lunch break, but you'd have to sit in a silent, isolated room with an invigilator with you at all times, no phones or things either (but you can revise), then you'd sit the other exam at 1:30 when the afternoon exam would normally start.

I was told by a teacher at my college that you can be made to sit as many exams in one day as long as the total doesn't exceed a certain amount of hours, which I think was 6 - but I can't quite remember. But yeah I'm glad I've never had a clash/two back-to-back, as having two on the same day (which I will have) is bad enough .
