What did everyone think?
I thought it went alright. Could have been a lot worse.
Who was wearing the Boards jacket?! I was sitting behind and to the right! Was going to say hi afterwards but then I thought I would look stalkerish
The traffic was atrocious, I was 10 mins late, so pissed off with the RDS letting people going to the Xpose ****e parking in Simmonscourt.:mad: And it wasnt just me! There was a fair few people running in at the same time.0 -

I must say though the handling of the exam today was the worst I have ever experienced in all my years at the college. The invigilator for my row forgot to hand out the papers and I didn't get my paper until 9:07 on the dot. Everyone beside me had begun writing and I still had not received my paper. To say I was pissed of would be an understatement. Then when it came to leaving the person who had to sign my row out was AWOL for an age.
Absolute shambles. If I had run out of time for my questions I would have looked into making a formal complaint. Might seem like a minor incovenience, but to me losing out on 7 minutes, in an exam where you have to write against the clock, is a disgrace.
Rant over!
That's a pity. I was stuck waiting about 15 minutes to sign out the other day after English which is a bit of a joke. Don't understand what the whole signing out is meant to achieve seeing as they should note themselves how many answer books you were given.
Also anyone else find the head invigilators speech at the beginning hilarious? I was cracking up as he was going on about no more than 3 people in the toilet and if you were gone for more than 5 minutes there would be a formal inquirery.
Looked up around half 12 and there was a queue of about 10 girls at the top of the RDS. Say there was a lot of formal investigations filed today

If you do have to repeat you'll probably just have to do an assignment. I had to repeat Downeys 2nd year Renaissance Europe class (the whole reason this thread exists) and it was an assignment despite being an exam when I failed.
So you can always do it in New York are you planning on moving for good?
Commencing my last cramathon on the Irish Experience now in a bit. Going to do education and transport. Anyone any advice on articles? Is transport good to learn for now or would I be better doing something like Welfare do you think?0 -

The exam went pretty good for me
I did the question on The Great Betrayal, and the one on the fall of White Australia.
I thought the questions required an awful lot of information, and asked quite alot.
For dismantling White Oz:
the key stages
significance
causes
consequences
Normally I'd have to bullsh*t cos I didn't have enough information, but there was so much that I had to include that I had to write short sentences and stick to the facts :eek:
Great Betrayal
nature of assurances
is legitimate to speak of betrayal?
understood at time
implications for future
Quite alot to write about !
I did well anyways I thought. I kind of skimmed over certain parts of the question, like 'to what extent it was understood... at time', but overall I did pretty good.0 -

I don't get it either. I mean, surely if they have our signatures on the answer books then they have proof that we were in attendance?
I'm going to cover Transport and Famine & Diseases and I printed off the notes for Marriage and Religion & Society as a Plan B of sorts in case things go pear-shaped.
I'm not looking forward to this one at all.0 -

Boards jacket was me, and I happen to like stalkerish! I bought it from the cycling forum, only realised on my way to the exam how I'd be letting myself known to everyone here... Though pointing myself out on the picture had the same effect.
So...Rise of White Australia, eh? Can we say "f*ck"? The backup I prepared was lecture 2, misc Australian security concerns, but I ended up doing 4, and being very general, analytical and date/name free in a discussion of the singapore strategy. Made a couple of woeful attemps at humour too, so I hope whoever's marking it likes a chuckle...
"whatever tenuous possibility there was of Britain maintaining naval superiority in both Europe and the Pacific was (and I apologise for this) sunk by the premature fall of France and the British scuttling of the Vichy France fleet" :P
I was also in the row that didn't get the papers, but at about 12:02 I reached over and took it from the empty desk next to me... and then the occupant arrived, looked confused for a second, put her hand up for a paper before reaching around and taking one from the unoccupied desk behind her ^_^'0 -
