Join the club. Had to type with one hand due to a broken arm and only managed to get one of three questions done. I'm hoping that the personal circumstances form I filled out will get me over the pass mark.

Did you not get additional time along with that? Afaik you should have got extra time due to the limitation in question, maybe see if your entitled to it for the rest of the exams?

They called out one name for extra time, but it wasn't mine.

v0v. The rest of my exams are written, so I shouldn't have any more problems.

Tried to scrape a pass. Not really sure if i did or not.

What's the story with mobile phones... are you allowed have them turned off in the hall? Or do you have to leave it in your bag in some room?

It's my first set of DIT exams and I don't really know if they'll be similar to UCD ones or not...

They have to be turned off and in your bag. They'll tell you all the rule before the exam starts anyway.

+1. There goes my first. Really annoying cause I averaged a first last year but last year didnt count towards my degree. I was on target to get one again but this exam today messed me up. Kind need one to get any sort of a job out of my course. Really annoying. Work so hard all year and then one bad day messes everything up. Stupid college.

I hate exams :mad:

Is your bag beside you in the exam hall or out in a waiting room type thing?

Its at the top of the room behind the examiners so no there is no way you can get at it during an exam.

docentore

done my first exam yesterday, I think I'll get something between 39-41%

rice_crispy

I did ok...:p...hoping for a good result...:D...speaking of...how do DIT give you your results.......is it online or in the post?

and....

how long does it usually take to get them? It is my first year in dit so judging by everything else ive noticed so far about the place im guessing maybe June.......2012???? :mad:

TiGeR KiNgS

is there a study area at wesley house ?

rice_crispy

No there is no study area, there are benches outside which are crammed with people smoking/talking so thats a no go area and they dont open the building until ten min before the exam!!!!

My advice is to arrive ten min before exam!!

claret

One down, two to go. Roll on the 22nd!!!!

depends on the faculty.

i know that the school of computing give them out over the internet only (they'd kind of would want to too lol). i'm not sure on other faculties.

anyways...

two down, two to go.

today's exam can be summed up in one word: impossible.

i thought final year exams were meant to be easy

Engineering put them online and send them out. Online normally go up first. It will be after the exam board meetings though.

tony 2 tone

Cell Biology out of the way, bit of a poxy one. Physics I tomorrow, should be ok.
Then back to dossing

Today went alot better than the ****ty first paper.
Good luck to those finishing off other exams.

oh wow where do they get these invigilators from??? we were shoved in a room with two other classes (seeing as it's our final exams ya think we'd be given some sort of preferential treatment, but oh no!!!). oh yeah n thanks lads for waffling all the way out of the exam room at 11am when it was obvious we had to stay til 12.30 :mad: they hadn't counted right so two lads had to go to the office as there weren't enough tables. the invigilator kept asking if anyone needed to go to the toilet.... if i need to go can i let u know??? think it was because the exam 'hall' was split in two and they insisted on escorting us to the loo. if we're gonna cheat we're gonna do it in the cubicle.... you can't see in there n plus even if they hear paper you just flush it cos with no evidence there can be no charge, right?? ugh so annoying and so distracting
