No.

Exams

They've put the exam rooms up

so, does everyone like their timetable? their rooms? why/why not?

i have english on the 28th june and politics on the 30th june, so it's not too bad, i have time to study for them. i'm on campus for both so i don't need to check out the racecourse beforehand.

i think making a timetable for all UNSW students is no mean feat. 35000 students. conservatism: lets assume half are examinable. thats still a lot

The final timetable is now out. Check your timetables again.

haha I am looking forward to a tough one with materials science,... 2 hours --- ALL multiple choice. But CHEM1131 is messed up! Ossmium? Tetroxide? errr.

is there free parking at the racecourse?

 

[sunny]

Yes, but very limited.

How to get to racecourse (e.g. Derby Centre) in the fastest and quickest way? Catching 891 does not sound very exciting - long walk, esp in the morning -> late for exam

 

[sunny]

The buses mentioned at the start of the thread mention the buses that take you outside the racecourse.

Also, if you can, I suggest catching the buses to the racecourse at a bus stop BEFORE central station, ie, at St James station, circular quay, martin place etc - because the buses tend to be PACKED in the hour before the exam, especially for an exam with a large candidature

guys please help, in the morning my train was 25 min late, so i couldnt make it to exam. so what going to happen to me?? i have med.certificate.

 

[kaseita]

this is the only info i could find on this matter

https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/atoz/SpecialConsideration.html

however, your excuse doesn't look that great, so they may not accept it.
shouldn't they have let you into the exam room? my friend came in half an hour later, and still did his exam

if your planning to submit special consideration, you need to do it quickly - within 3 days of the assessment.

 

[ezzy85]

and youll have to stick to a story. either the med certificate or the late train.
