How Are Your Exams Laid Out?

Hey Guys;

Well, I am now in my second year of Biomedical Science and from what I've seen, I have 1 exam in January (1.5 hours long) and 4 Exams in April/May period... (Three modules each with a 3 Hour exam and another module which is 1.5 hours long...)

So, yeah...
Anyway, was wondering how people's exams are laid out and if anyone has any other crappy exam layout as me...

Would happily do many 1.5 hour long exams instead of these 3 hour long ones... had two last year and they were a killer...

In my finals I had two 3 hour papers on the same day - totally different topics.

Mine just get closer and closer together.

There's three weeks between my first two exams. Then 9 days. Then 3 days, 4 days, 5 minutes, and then 1 day between each of the next ones.
