That seems really strange, that it would say only write on one side. I wonder why?

Some are some don't.

My philosophy one said only write on the right side of each page but I looked around the room and no one had given a feck and was writing ferociously on both sides just like me

You don't actually go to Edinburgh though, do you?
Glasgow might have different rules.

A girl in front of me in an exam recently took out her iPod and started to listen to it.

The invigilator did dick all, I swear they can be as thick ad a bag of hammers. She could been listening to almost anything - lectures, tutorials or... Nickleback!

I was tempted to say something, but the exam was OK, and if she can get away with it, good for her.

Plus she was really hot...

I looked hard and didn't seen libertus, but guessed the same anyway. I'm sure they didn't all have to say it, just it would have been reassuring. No, unfortunately I still have two. Italian (which should be fine) and history of art (less fine). A year of study and I feel I learn't more in the last month, studying by myself. The lecture slides are very bare, and whilst I know all the key images and have done quite a few readings, my general contextual knowledge is seriously lacking. I have 6 days to cram.

Wait whaaaat? Italian?!

Don't panic, I missed my oral because I was ill and they rearranged it for me, so I guess it's just me!

Has anyone done Economics 2? Just wondering if it's worth taking as an outside course next year as I did EPA this year but it's not enough to continue with in second year so I would have to study Econ 1a and take a test in Fresher's week if I wanted to do it.

I did Economics 1A and 2 but not EPA. Economics 2 is very dry with a lot of maths - sucked all the life out of the subject for me to the point I was glad I didn't have to take it in 3rd/4th years. No idea about the EPA->Economics 2 situation mind.

It did say that you need at least a B in AH Maths or A-level. Did you do either of these and how difficult is the maths in Econ 2 compared to it?
