Leavong Cert Oral Exam - time change?

Jasonsc

I havent actually gotten my time for my french or irish oral exam yet, but we have been told the week they are on. On the friday of this week i plan to leave the country for the weekend, however. But, i dont want to book flights/hotel room/whatever else on the off chance that my oral exam would be on the friday.

so i was curious, i know its a state exam, but is there some way that if it was on the friday, i could have the time changed? ask the school to talk to whoever organises the exams? or ask whoever organises the exams myself? people seem to doubt this is possible, but i figured id post here before i decided...surely there must be some way to do it?

any help appreciated, thanks.

As far as I am aware you are allowed change just swap with someone else but let it be known to your teacher.

It depends what you are going for, if its any sort of holiday type thing, they will mostly likely tell you to get stuffed, if its a valid reason, theyll more than likely accomadate you.

In my school last year we were able to choose when we wanted them.
So, for people who wanted to get them over and done with straight away they were allowed go first, people who wanted to wait until near the end when reports of what sorts of questions the examiner was firing got to go at the end and so on.

I'd say it depends on your school, but just ask the teacher in charge and i'm sure they'll allow you go earlier in the week.
