Is it tough to place two finals on the same day, 6 hours continuously?

<p>So, I am going to start my first quarter at UCLA as a transfer student in Sep...at the orientation, we were told to pay attention to the exam codes when signing up for classes, stupid me, I thought that as long as the exam codes of my classes are not the same, I would be fine...</p>

<p>But a few days ago when I went back to check for my class schedule, I found out that I am acutally going to have two upper division finals on the same day! (I enrolled in 14 units in Fall, two of them are upper division, and one of them lower-division) </p>

<p>Has anyone had the experience of having two finals on the same day?!?!? is it suicidal?? Or should I go enroll in some other classes instead?? </p>

<p>Please help....</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i did it last winter. it wasnt too bad…not preferable of course but definitely manageable.</p>

<p>then again, im sure it has much to do with what classes the finals are for. i had chem 20b followed by poli sci 40…</p>

<p>im going to have one major upper division final, followed by a non-major upper division final :frowning: does it sound bad?</p>

<p>I’ve done it two or three times. It’s not a big deal.</p>

<p>I did it last quarter with two upperdivs and got decent grades (B+ and A-). I did worse for a class that I did the most work for (stupid CS31). I used nearly the whole 3 hours for all three finals too. Bring something to eat during your break for your back-to-back.</p>

<p>I had a pair of upper div finals back to back in the spring. Actually taking the tests isn’t that bad. The bigger problem is having enough time in between to eat and use the bathroom, as well as arranging studying beforehand. If you’re organized, it should be fine.</p>

<p>I did it last quarter and it wasn’t so bad. I got an A and a B which was what I was expecting for both classes. One of them did finish a little early, though. I think it’s definitely doable, especially if your other finals are much earlier or later in the week.</p>

<p>I’ve had it 3 of my 6 quarters so far with back to back physics finals, and it was very relieving to be done at the very end of the day, but not super stressful. I feel it’s nice as long as it’s not 2 on Friday.</p>
