Three Exams on one Day

So I've Got AQA A level Computer Science, WEJC A LEVEL ICT and AQA A Level Core 4 all on the same day, any ideas on how i can deal with the stress of sitting all of them back to back and still remembering everything i need to know.
i also want to know if anyone else has this combination of exams on the 16th

How long is each?
If they add up to over six hours you can get special consideration from exam boards

How would i apply for a special consideration?

Computer Science is 2.5 hours
ICT is also 2.5 hours
and core 4 is 1.5 hours

so in total i'm sitting 6 and a half hours of exams:frown:

I'm pretty sure you can apply for special consideration if the total exam time in one day is more than 6 hours although i am not sure
The college have to do it for you

I don't have those exams but I do have C2 C3 and History Paper 2 on one day-I would say I feel your struggle but you've got like almost double the hours than I do; but just try to make sure you're well prepared now and then go over the things you know before the exam and you should be okay. I hope you do well though!

In that case (as they total more than 6 hours) you can choose to move one to the following morning (including Saturday if that's the next day). Talk to your centre's exams officer. However, are you sure they're all on the same day? I think Computer Science is on 22 June and Core 4 on 23 June.

I do AQA too, I'm dreading doing C2 and C3 then P2 and P3 because I don't want to forget everything, it's a really bad idea.

I did C2 and C3 3 months ago so it's in my long term memory somewhere, Physics I'll do in a day bc thats what I did with B2 and B3 literally sat there from 4pm to 2am trying to absorb 400 flashcards, if I can do it so can you lmao you'll be okay. Is it weird that I'm not stressed? I probably should be.
