    Wow, that's really badly organised... Especially since you would have all already indicated that you were doing Chemistry, they should have had the figures. But at least you got the right amount of time! Bit annoying if you were going for a particular bus or something

    The whole examination is a monster to organise. Mistakes will happen, I'm afraid.

    Ah... Have they got into the 'stuffing everyone into one room' stage? That's kinda the stage they've got to in my school, there were only three exam rooms open and loads of people were moved around

    The Department won't pay for supervisors of two centres if they think one will suffice.

    That's interesting, in ours they split up the class of 20 into 2 groups of 10...i don't know why. Our examiner was a bit dopey...it took me 5mins to get extra paper and when i finally got it and wrote on it i realised she had drawn the plan of the classroom on the back...

    :) That's funny. The room plan would have been important to her though.

    my school is operating two exam centres for leaving certs all this week. today there were four people doing chemistry. two in each exam centre. the dept paid two superintendants. two attendants. and in the end we all went into the same room and the superintendants took shifts. although we had to use stationary number with different IONAD numbers than the other two lads.
    madness
