Guest Robster01 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Tell him to turn up. Write WAWAW on his paper then walk out. He will have attempted it so gets to take a resit later on. Makes his point and you get to set off an hour earlier or more than planned. Not allowed to leave exam within 40 mins normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes his point and you get to set off an hour earlier or more than planned. Resit will be capped at 40%, or at least I believe that's the normal procedure at all Universities and not just Sheffield. Only reason you can skip an exam is if a family member dies, but they'll want death certificates for that etc. Very difficult to miss are Uni exams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Puts all ticket price threads into perspective. I suppose if you have that type of cash, might as well spend it on Wednesday at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass mark 50% pass or fail. Still almost impossible to miss though. I wouldn't risk it. Edited May 20, 2016 by SBOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It's onot the telly you know mate. Blatant boast thread. Believe me, if I could drum up enough interest I'd be getting a helicopter from Doncaster or wherever the nearest airstrip is. Absolutely gutted that I'm missing it, just can't afford a helicopter on my todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Does he have to even attend the exam to be allowed to resit? I know settling for 40% isn't ideal mind you. I had a major meltdown with an assignment in this year, properly flounced and didn't hand anything in. I get to resit the coursework in June and the mark is capped at 40%.

Swiss Toni Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I was going to go down in a hot air balloon. Only downside is I need to set off tomorrow in time to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/10/1983 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 So you reckon your son should have special exam arrangements- booking a room, finding two invigilators etc made for him just so he go and watch a football match, meaning he sees the exam paper a day before all his course mates, completely compromising the integrity of the exam? And this would be 'uni lectures not living in the real world' if they didn't do this? Seriously? Jesus. No - I think setting an exam on a Saturday lunchtime of a Bank Holiday weekend - when I know how many contact hours they have during the year - is not living in the real world ! I have some sympathy with Leicesterowl's point of view. Exams on a Saturday afternoon?! What's more, most Universities only do this on Saturdays because the invigilator's pay is so poor it is done by those who are picking up any extra Nash after working in the week. They simply will not pay enough to get staff on week days. Back int day a mate of mine had a University final on Whit Bank Holiday Monday afternoon. He was a massive Sunderland fan. He couldn't get out of the exam and had no choice but to leg it from his exam to meet us in the pub. He saw the last 45 minutes of their 4 - 4 draw with Charlton before losing on penalties!

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Tell him to do his best but he must leave exam By 2.30. You should just make it to Wembley by 5 from Nottingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoryBell Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Top effort. I would just have binned off the exam and taken it as a re-sit in the summer! I am the chancellor of Nottingham University and I heard that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
