4 exams over 4 days in a row next week :eek:, the joys of my third and final year!!

Brimmy

First one tomorrow. Nineteenth Century Literature. At 6pm so thankfully don't have to be up early for it.

Just finishing my notes for it now (had them done but compiling them down to one sheet) and time to cram between now and then after relooking over the texts and maybe watching a film of one of them just to be on the safe side

Mr.Nice Guy

Is the set-up the same as it was at Christmas exams? Head in, find your number and all that jazz?

Probably a dumb question here but is that different to where we did the Christmas ones?

Yes! It's a huge shed off Simmonscourt Rd, across the road to the south from the main RDS arena. See rds.ie for a map if unsure - do not try to guess it or wing it, and allow plenty of time if you've never been there before.

First one for me is on Thursday at 9. Politics exam on the Sovereign State.

That's the first one for me too. At this stage I'm getting sick of reading stuff that mentions the word sovereignty 10 times per page, but the exam itself should be ok.

just finishing off my notes for that as well, i feel eerily confident given that i've done essentially no study for it. I was looking at the past papers though, and it seems that you can get by with just two text, I.e. Soloman's Mines and The Importance of Being Earnest, that's my intention anyway, with some Irish poetry up my sleeve in case i get stuck.

Is Simmonscourt the place where funderland is held?

El Siglo

Yeh it's the same place as funderland, here's a map

Notorious

Anyone else doing Economics of Public Policy next Friday? I've been told the final is an MCQ, but for some reason I thought it was a written exam with 2 sections. Can anyone clear it up for me?

I start tomorrow at 12 with the geography of Latin America. Should be handy enough. I'm leafing through one of the huge readings she gave us..

data structures was grand I thought. Except for the greedy question!! He mentioned that on the last day and then threw it in as mandatory :eek:

Aye the greedy question really fecked me over aswell. Thank god Maps and Dictionaries came up in an optional question though. Trees were a handy one aswell

BlackMamba

Finished Reading Medieval Literature there. It was....meh! Could have been worse I suppose! Have 20th Century Drama tomorrow morning at 9am!:(

19th century went according to plan now onto Modernism!

Qualitative Research at 12 today, was fine. Used it as a warm up exercise for my hand, as hadnt written that style in a while, so all warmed up for the two hour exams coming. Also managed a 10 minute nap at the end:D

Went well!

3 down, 2 to go. But I have a four day break now. Luckily, because I am dead. Not used to this 'studying' concept.

Whelo10

Yeah Notorious is an mcq, with possible mulitple right answers, mr. Bargain is a bit of a bugger!

Lads what's the story with parking in Simmonscourt? Is there as much as the other place? Or should I park in the other place and walk over to Simmonscourt?

The exam is at 12, but I'll probably be there by 9

dyl10

Bleh, Intermediate Macro in 3 1/2 hours

lemon_sherbert

Argh! I've just had my third exam in 24 hours, making it my fifth in four days, and one more tomorrow morning. I do not like this timetable. But Tomorrow it will all be over!

No theres loads, probably over 500 spots. Went in at 12 yesterday and there werent many cars there. Most people were getting lifts to avoid spending the €5. Theres on street parking at the entrance aswell thats always available but not sure how much that is

kev_s88

ugh first exam down and it was a nightmare....stupid Case Studies module i hate DRAMA STUDIES with a burning passion and the faster i can drop it the better :mad:

Theresalwaysone

5 euro a day, I know its 20 quid for the whole exam time but jesus how can they possibly justify that?

I also knows it prob been said a thousand times.

Modern America 2nd History today. Was decent enough. Andrew Jackson ended up like a charm in there, despite the crap start. New Deal was handy enough too, so I'd say a solid C in that module(hopefully better:D)

2 down, which both went well, 4 to go, next one starts the downward spiral towards crapness of my GPA, thank you Religion & State.

Dave!

Modern America is great :cool:
