Formative exams

[Guest flying kumquat]

Hey there,

 

I'm starting Meds2009 next week and I was just browsing through the newly posted schedule on the Queen's site. During Phase 2A, I noticed two "formative exams" scheduled: one on March 23 (ie. the Thursday after spring break) and one on April 28. I was under the impression that all of our testing was at the end of the semester for both Phase 1 and 2A. Is this incorrect? Are exams spread out over the term in 2A? (Should I be planning on studying my ass off instead of going south for spring break?)

Hey there:

 

Formative exams at Queen's are just that: formative. They are intented for you to evaluate your progress in the block. For us (class of 2006) they did not count towards any part of our grade. In fact, some students chose not to complete them. So, enjoy going south!

 

Bye
