I HATE it when you get a week right? A typical Mon-Friday week
Monday=No SACS
Tuesday=One or No SACS
Wed=SAC,SAC,and ANOTHER SAC
Thursday=No sac
Friday=No SAC
WHY! I fail to see why teachers can't create a timetable or calender to ensure SACS are never squeezed together like that! It makes everything much easier. You have Thurs and Friday with NOTHING on, but are cramming like hell Monday and Tuesday. And because the SACS in the middle of the week you don't have extra days to study!
It's approaching last 2 weeks of term, so I have 4 SACS, on the last week of term, the WHOLE week is EMPTY, except they decided to have 2 SACS for me on Wed, in Maths and Eco, when I am 40 pages behind in Maths (as is the class), how can you study, do the chapter, and practise for the OTEHR subject whe this occurs

It's just more fun when they're packed into a day =]

Practice for 3 exams in a day? :P
(Yeah it annoys me too)
-
HAHAH, thanks for the optimism guys. Speaking of exams, I have like 1 or 2 days break between EACH exam, and weekends as well, spread over 2 weeks
My friend has theirs all in like 2-3 days. lol. burn.

I reckon the most SACs I've had in a day is 3. I felt soooohhh tired after the last one.

That happens at pretty much every school, as each subject has around the same number of outcomes and SACs to do, and each outcome takes around the same time to teach. It is extremely hard to spread them out, as it invariably means some subject will be behind in schedule and run out of revision time due to late SACs. My school trialled it, and epically failed (ended up with everyone doing SACs at all different times because of time clashes. Sometimes the same SAC will spread over 3 weeks because some people have to push it back, and revision were almost non-existent).

That's very true, but with my subjects, like in Vis comm we have only had 2 written SACS in the WHOLE year, we completed both in semester one like 3 weeks part to get it out of the way. The rest of the year was just month long SAT. The biggest bummers are the humanity kind of subjects e.g. Legal, Bus Man, Economics. English can be okay coz they are spread out by like 4-5 weeks, but there are MANY.

And it really does happen at university anyway (assignments clumping themselves together), so.
