Is 4 midterms in 3 days a conflict?
Hey guys,
I am dealing with this situation where I have 4 midterms in 3 days from tuesday to thursday after thanksgiving. Is it a conflict?
if Yes, is it too late to email the prof for writing in another time spot?
thanks

It's not a conflict as long as you have enough time to go from one midterm to the next. You can always plead your case to your professors and they just might like you write the early midterm, but generally the early midterm is on the same day as the scheduled midterm or a couple days beforehand.

I've had four exams in two and a half days and it's not considered an exam conflict.
You can try and appeal to your professors, but at this point it may be too late.

I don't think it's a conflict. I have a quiz(worth 5%) and two midterms on the same day >< I think 4 midterms in 3 days is not so bad. Atleast you get them all done and out of the way at once. Then you don't have to worry about them anymore.

Easy answer - if they dont overlap for when you have to write them, their not a conflict.

One of my friends in Kin had the same thing (2 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday); three of them laughed at her, one of them gave her another time to write.
Worth a shot!

This year, I have four final exams in three days. Like everyone else said, not a conflict, just a horrible situation. Hope your midterms went well!  |

rrtt, you should check with some of your profs once the exam schedule is finalised. I had this last year, and even though it wasn't a "real" conflict, the prof let me write it at another time with other people that had a REAL conflict.
Worth a shot!
