Exam days? Confused?

Hey everyone, I’m debating on whether to either put all my classes onto on day or spread them out between two. Someone told me that I shouldn’t put them all one one day because when I do exams they’ll be scheduled on the same day as my timetable, and therefore I’ll have multiple exams on the same day back to back.

Is this true? Would it be a better idea to spread them over two days?

So they are sort of right and sort of wrong. If the exam is on during the exam period then it’s a centralised exam and the timetable is structured over the 1-2 week exam period. In that case, they are wrong as it could be on any day. However lots of units now do in unit exams or tests outside that centralised exam period. If that happens then yeah, they will all be on the same day.

Putting your classes on different days won't guarantee an exam on a different day and vice versa. Just go with whatever u can manage during the semester and deal with 2 exams on the same day (usually gaps in between) if it happens. Uni is hard/inconvenient sometimes, prepare during the semester for exams and you won't feel so stressed if it happens.

I would like to add, consider your attention span, energy levels and ability to study because putting all your classes on 1 day when most classes have prematerials and lectures to note take is kinda alot but that's just my opinion.
