hey, i have 4 final exams in 2 days. 2 on the 12 and 2 on the 13th, which is right at the beggining of exams!!! is this considered a conflict and is there anything i can do about it? :( im freaking out

Yes, this is a conflict. Look at the Registrar's website at

http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /scheduling/examtt.html

Click on problems, and you will see the information. Don't go complain yet... the schedule isn't finalized.

Just write them, you'll be a bigger man (or woman) afterwards

I don't know if this is a conflict or not.

I think when the website says "Three consecutive examinations over two days", it means if you have them in consecutive timeslots, i.e. Tuesday at 4pm, Tuesday at 7pm, Wednesday at 9am. So unless it's consecutive like that, it's not a conflict.

The following types of problems should be reported to the Examinations Office Room114, Gilmour Hall after the final timetable is posted. A minimum of ten working days prior to the scheduled examination date is required to facilitate the re-scheduling of examinations.

1. More than one examination scheduled at the same time.
2. Three examinations in one calendar day (midnight to midnight).
3. Three consecutive examinations over two days.
4. Two consecutive examinations if first one is 3hrs long for December exams only.

Ouais, that was my logic when I had 3 in 24 hours.

Based on the possible arrangement in the day, there will probably be three consecutive. if not. Good luck!
