Two finals on the same day

I have financial accounting and calculus 2 on the same day with only an hour in between. Do you think I should change the date for calculus? As of now, I have As in both classes but I am unsure about the topics covered in the second half of the semester, especially the series chapter.

Oh I forgot to mention that the exams are in three days and I have not begun reviewing them

@passingcloud if you have the ability to change the exam time/date without penalty, then perhaps.

But two finals on one day is not unusual, and typically requests for a makeup exam are denied except in extenuating circumstances (sickness, different exam at same time).

I don’t see why they would let you switch… My school always has 2 midterms/finals on the same day, so it’s not uncommon (with only 15 minutes in between). And it’s not the school’s fault you haven’t begun studying (unless there were extrenuating circumstances, like a death in the family). That’d be like asking a teacher to make an exception for you on a chapter test you knew about for a week… Why would they? You’ve know you would have this final.

Two exams in 1 day is the norm in my school. I got a Calc and Physics test on the same day. I have a 5% chance of survival.

You could play sick and retake the exams on two different days…though I would definitely not encourage/recommend it

Thanks for your feedback! I got it extended a little bit so I get 3 hours in between now. I think this is better

Our school runs 2 tests per day (midterms or finals) for 4 straight days. I don’t see how it could be done otherwise–high schools can’t spend a week and a half doing exams just so kids don’t have to take more than one per day.

My previous school is like that. For finals we had almost two weeks so that we got a day between each exam. That’s not in the states though.

@passingcloud wow. So for example, if a student had a final on Monday, he couldn’t have a final on Tuesday?

I’m still surprised you were able to reschedule the exam time. I highly doubt I would’ve been able to do that.

Yeah, it was nice. For the standard exams that all schools take, we had a month of exams. For one exam I had a full week!
