Does anyone know....
Maybe a stupid question but does anyone know if you can request to write your FINAL exam on a different day? (given a legitimate reason). Also is writing grad school exam on the same day/same time a legitimate reason? lol.
Thanks in advance.

Yep, you can defer it to a later time, provided you have a valid reason. I believe you have to speak to your Associate Dean's office about that though, and let them know beforehand.

I deferred an exam last semester. The process was pretty easy. Also note: you can defer only 2 in your academic career.

You're in a graduate program that writes exams? Weird.

What I understood is that it's something like the LSAT, MCAT, etc. Not a graduate program 'exam' per se.

No. I want to write one of my GRE exams FOR a graduate program during April but I know that day is one of the final exam days. JUST IN CASE, I happen to have an final exam for school on the same day as the GRE, I was hoping that maybe I can defer the final exam. (there are only 3 days per year for this particular subject GRE). |

I doubt it. The university doesn't care about something like that. You need like three in a row to even have a shot at deferring. |
