Can you do three cleps in a day?

[snazzlefrag]

I am scheduled to take German and also social science/history this Friday. I am debating adding intro sociology to it but am concerned about fatigue. Has anyone done three exams in one day? It could be rewarding - possibly 21 credits in one day - but I don't want to over-reach. What are your thoughts? (other than 'she's got to be crazy' )

Hi Johanna,

There have been a couple of times that I have taken three exams in one day before. It is doable, but it is a gamble. If you pull it off successfully, you will be over the moon. But if you don't, you will be kicking yourself for not taking it slow and steady.

My advice will always be to spread the exams out whenever it's possible. Even if you take one exam a day for three days. The extra night's sleep in between will ensure you are on top form for each individual exam.

However, I would obviously be a hyprocrite to say that you should never do three exams in one day. If you have studied equally well for all three exams, they are all subjects that you are comfortable with, and you are extremely confident that you can pass all three, then by all means give it a shot. But know that it IS a gamble, and it may or may not pay off for you.

Finally, there are some exams that you would be well advised NEVER to even consider taking at the same time as other exams. They are just too difficult in their own right, and require your full focus and attention.

So, if you do decide to double up, or triple up, make sure you choose your exam combinations very wisely.

Best of luck,
