Special Exams

IWJ

Has anyone here ever been permitted to sit or has heard of someone else being permitted to sit more than two special exams/ super supplementals in October?

If you havent asked your tutor by now. I imagine you have already missed the deadline to apply for them

I knew I was pushing my luck when I got one special exam, but two. Jesus

You will need a very good reason

You've to go before a board of appeals, no lecturers will be present, from what I remember there was two people from other schools, a postgrad student who sits on the schools board and there was someone else as well whom I can't remember. The head of undergraduate teaching for pharmacy (as that's what I was studying) was present but in her own words, she has no role in the decission.
So all in all it was very fair, no bias can be made against you.
Your tutor can be in there with you as well

if you don't ask, you don't get. Worst they're going to do is say no and you've lost nothing.

Best of luck

Yes - 3

But had VERY good reason. I applied totally through my tutor.
