Bit Of A Situation!

Ryan100

So, I picked up Business Studies this year (Repeat Student) and I was working really hard at it till about Christmas time and then after that I just got lazy and dropped the subject since I already had 6 Honours and (stupidly) I took it off my exam sheet (White form sent to Department with subjects and levels on it, don't know what's it's actually called) but lately I've been working at it again and want to take the exam? Is there any way I can sit the exam since I never marked it down on that form? I've heard you can just show up to any exam and sit it but don't know how true this is?
Thanks!

Bump! Anyone know?

As far as I remember (aka don't take my word for it check it out for sure) that white form is only to give the department an indication. You pick your level, Higher or Ordinary on the spot. If you don't turn up for an exam you were meant to nothing happens.

As for turning up to an exam you were not meant to, as long as you have it paid for, the corrections that is, you will get your result.

Like I said check it out to make sure

Is that white sheet the external candidate application? The one where you had to pay 326 euro? If that's it then I think you can register till 30th of April but you'll have to pay a late fees. I'm not sure if you can do that now just for Business though seeing you have already registered for other subjects but you can have a read through this-https://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=ca (paragraph numbered 9 is about the late fees) and may be you should talk to someone in your school or ring the department people to make sure.

Thanks Stalin and Cocopops....I'll be able to check with the Guidance Counsellor on Friday, I was just a bit impatient but cheers

Don't bother with the Guidance Counsellor, it's the school Examinations Secretary you want to inform.

It's not true that you can just show up to any exam and sit it, but it's not too late to add Business to your list.
