That's what everybody's been putting up with since AS exams began, and it hasn't caused them too many problems. The exam times aren't going to change now, even if a petition is signed. AS exams are much closer together than A2s or even GCSEs. If you revise well, the actual timing of exams shouldn't be an issue for you. Good luck!

At least you've got about a day between each science set of exams - my ex bf had all his bio exams one day, and then all the chem the next!

It could be worse, last year i had 6 exams on one day, all physics AS in morning and all econ in afternoon.
To make things worse, i was taking the exams at different places, so i had about an hour to get from one college to another via public transport. In fact there was quite a bad crash near where i had my AM exams while i was taking them, which could have caused delays, but fortunately for me, it was only gridlocked in the opposite direction!

I'm an A2 student and I have two exams on consecutive days, two exams with a day in between and then two days off before another exam.

Yes. It's ****.

Hey, it could be worse! Some people have no gaps, a million resits and exams all on one day.
That's nothing. I had 18 exams last summer. I had 5 A2 exams in a row, i.e. 3 on one day, then 2 the next :redface:
Unfair, but c'est la vie and all that.
:ditto: :laugh: yes - c'est la vie!

just be happy that when you get to uni it ain't gonna be as tight as that
Thats nothing, I know people who have had a lot worse, I had like 6 exams over the course of 5 days in my AS, and most people had about the same... Stop complaining and get on with it !!!
Whta are you complaining about! I have 7 hours of exams in 2 days.
June 5th; 2 hours of Politics
June 6th; 3 hours of chemistry followed by 2 hours of History
damn i remember chemistry...... *shudders*
mines worse, i have chemistry and M4 on same day, then physics and M3 on saem day. these are like killer exams.
Mine are pretty bad too, i think i've got 9 hours of exams in two days, and then 1 day break and then another 2 1/2 hours. Ah well, just have to do lot's of revision and start earlier!

apparently theres a limit to the number of exams you can take, its either 6 hours of exam papers in one day, or its 6 hours from the time you start your first and finish your last in one day, i can't remember thouhgh
