We undertake not to give students more than 2 exams on one day, and in
general we succeed. (We have 3 exam slots in a day.) We also try, but do
not promise, to avoid consecutive exams in a day. Out constraints are like
yours but the numbers are just about halved: 2 exam weeks, 500+ exams,
around 20,000 candidate places - twice a year. We don't make any commitment
about '3 in 2 days'.
We used to schedule final exams early in the exam session in both
semesters, but the SU asked for semester 1 exams to be in week 2, so that
the poor dears didn't have to revise right through the Xmas break, but had
a clear week once they got back. Otherwise exams at each level are spread
throughout the 2 week period, with a tendency for 1st year exams to be in
the week that final year exams aren't running.
