    Don't mind him, he's just one of those really irritating clever people who does well in everything! :p Yeah the repeats have always been in Blackrock for me (I've repeated 7 exams over the past two years). They wouldnt bother hiring out the RDS again, cos they dont need too for the autumn exams - there's mcuh fewer of them like. Anyway try and do your best to pass 1st time around, even if you think its a hopeless cause - you'd be suprised at what you can do (and trust me repeating is not a nice experience!)

    Yeah my problem is I frickin' freeeeeeeeakkk :eek: over exams like months before. I remember last year about three months before my Leaving I was needed frickin' valium to calm me down and I was also planning where I would do my REPEAT YEAR! The funny thing is the week before the Leaving I was totally chilled lounging out in the sun doing no study! Well I'm here now so it worked out in the end. Luckily for moi I've done all my essays/assignments, gone to nearly all my tutorials etc. so hopefully I'll just creep towards that lovely 40% mark in May. :)

    yep. Especially if it's 2nd science and you have to repeat EVERYTHING to get into honours 3rd year. That was 10 exams for me last year :eek: :mad:

    OK I'm freeeeeakking out again. Please don't say this is the case for 1st Arts. :( The way I thought things were if you passed 2 subjects and failed 1 in May you would just have to only repeat that exam you failed in August. Please someone say that I am right! :confused:

    Oh I've got to chill. :cool:

    Yeah for 1st Arts you only have to repeat the exam you fail. Not that you're going to fail, be positive!

    printed off my *provisional* timetable for the exams and it seems that i have an exam in something i wasnt aware of! English Paper 4 (2nd year) appears to "Textual Analysis and Essay"......dear god somebody tell me this is for Mode 1 heads!

    also my History Paper 4 comes before Paper 2.


    Good old UCD eh?


    I too have also discovered a paper that i was unaware of...em how can you have a "practical exam" when you're in the rds...?

    surely that would involve some moving of some description...all year long there has only been talk of two papers for geogra-ma-phy....and then this fudging mad thing pops up-geog paper 3, practical...grr...hope it's just a ucd blooper...as i would be finished a week earlier...hmm liver already quivering... :)

    ok I got it good with the times-I CAN study between exams-I will study. Hmm when I think of May I think of just running away and hiding in a box under Tara St. station for ever and ever and ever and I'll have a great life-no worries-right?

    For Engineering (1st that is), do you have to repeat all your exams in Autumn if you only fail a couple in Summer?

    No you just have to repeat the ones you fail. You've got compensation as well, which means you can get between 30% and 40% in two subjects and still pass. (You have to make up over twice the difference on what you got below 40% with anoth subject though - like if you get 30% in one, you need at least 60% in another)

    :eek: Thats pretty sh1t, we were told(1st science) that we had to get between 35 - 39% in the subject we failed and 45% or higher in another subject to pass by compensation which seems easier to me. Then again I think we can only pass by compensation in one subject :mad:
