How to get to racecourse (e.g. Derby Centre) in the fastest and quickest way? Catching 891 does not sound very exciting - long walk, esp in the morning -> late for exam

from memory, u can get either the 391 or the 376 ...

Whoever ban drinking water during a 3 hours exam should die. I had to put up with all those coughing noises: hearing them as well as making them myself (cough cough)

Imagine: Related Examination Matrial 42: A bottle of water

 

[sunny]

Every exam room should have cups and a jug of water at the front. You can ask the examiners for it.

they should let us use the bar up at level 4. might ease the tension abit.

Can someone plz clarify this for me :

https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/academiclife/assessment/examinations/ExaminationMaterial.html

Number Materials
0 No examination materials permitted
1 Drawing instruments permitted
2 Slide rules
3 Lecture notes
4 Molecular models
5 Special materials as indicated by a school
6 Any examination materials or books
(does not include electronic calculators, hand-held computers, mobile telephones or other communication equipment)
7 Electronic calculators -
no alphabetic keyboard and memory must be cleared
8 Texts as prescribed by a school
(unless otherwise indicated these texts must not contain annotations)
9 Hand-held computers


So, if exam is "0" - that means, no calculators are to be bought + no calculators will be provided ?

If exam is "7" - this means you are allowed to bring YOUR OWN calculator (not graphical/text storage etc etc)? Or it means that UNSW will provide the calc. for you ?

Judging from the fact that MATH1131 is a "0" exam and they provide calculator for you, I'll say "0" means solely "no personal calculators are to be bought" and "7" means "if you need a calculator, bring your own"

Some nice ones will fix it for you. Some old evil cranky ones won't do anything!

Last time I went to the exam room at Mechanical Engineering, and becuase it was my first time there, I went to the door and ask "Is the first exam here Plant Ecosystem Processes?". I ask coz nothing was up in the front and I want to make sure I didn't went to the wrong pace. The old lady come out and scream at me "I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE THEN I CAN'T DO MY WORK!!"

Gee. all she have to say was "Yes" or "no".

You can, and make sure you mention how frustrated you are and hence not thinking properly and lead to a lower performance than you can deliver/give. The only question is i don't know who should u approach.

Hehe... reminds me of one incident where I have one of those "A-K, L-Z" exams and for the L-Z exams they allocated tables from A-J. I asked "L-Z?" and they reply "no is from A-J"... confused but cool afterwards.
