    Yeah all CAP1 exams are on the weekends, 9.30-4.30 a majority (but not quite all) of Sat and Sundays.

    But in fairness the attendance at them is generally fairly poor and you can come and go as you please (including myself in that) so dont feel to guilty if you skip of for sport

    Thanks for the reply.

    Considering Im starting from scratch though I prob shouldnt miss the lectures.

    Might be able to fit in one match a month... which sucks but suppose these sacrafices have to be made.

    Are you based in dublin? Do you know where the classes are held?

    Thanks a mil :)

    on in 2 different locations around dublin (i didnt do cap1 this year but my house mate did)

    this year one of the groups was in UCD, not sure where else there held

    But with prof 3's dosent matter which group ur assigned to really, just goto which ever lectures suit you, attendance is so poor capacity isnt an issues.

    I was the same as you lst year, said i better goto all my lectures but it takes a super commitment to work during the week (stupidly long hours usually) and then drag urself to college on the weekends

    Good luck to you if you can manage it

    I did CAP1 externally so I dont know how often they are, but they were on in a combination of UCD, Griffith College and the NCI in dublin. I did go to one lecture with a friend and it was mostly empty and lasted from 9.30 to 4.30 (really 10 to 4 with an hour for lunch)
