Can you complain about the arrangement of them?
Bearing in mind they are final year law exams.
Im not too bad myself, i have 19th May 21st 22nd 29th and 3rd June
But others on my course have them closer.
One lass has 5 exams, one a day monday-friday 
Is it actually possible to complain about them

I can complain about them for you if you want Marc, but I don't see how it will help 
On a serious note, you can always ask to see if they are able to rearrange them - if you don't ask, you'll never know!

Really?
I can't see them moving the exams about for people...
If you think having then mon to fri exam a day... You would've loved mine one year.
I had 8 exams in 2 weeks, and they decided to double park a couple of times ( 2 exams a day)...
I think I ended up with a exam on a thurs, 2 on a fri and a 2 on a sat
I remember having to think, 'fuck... I can only cram for one of these the night before' - so I'd cram for the morning one, and then in the 3 hours or so inbetween the exams I'd cram for the next 
Fucking hated exams for the fact I'd have 8 spread over 2 weeks, but generally close together and in clumps.
Then my house mate would have a total of 3 exams spread over the same 2 weeks, and would have like 1 exam at the start of 2 weeks, then the 2 near the end... essentially giving him forever to revise for them.

They won't change it.
I had an exam every other day in my final year.

My sister is sitting her A-level exams in June.
Her timetable has set 4 on one day - 1 in the morning, and 3 in the afternoon, all 2 hour exams

I surpose it depends on the uni. I went to a Micky Mouse uni so that's how we got a couple of ours moved
I could have done so well at John Moores, instead i went out every night either getting pissed or sitting in car parks. Regret it now though! Still, managed a 2:2 and had good times. I think if i had of took a year out from college and went to uni i would have actually realised that you don't get things for free.

Lincoln Uni doesnt tend to move them unless the lecturer or subject head requests it, and even then finding a suitable room usually isnt possible
Ive got 5 3hour exams coming up in May and they havent told us when they are yet, if they are all in one week theres no point me turning up to 2 of them, might as well just fail and resit in the summer

The exams are technically supposed to test your knowledge of the subject, not ability to pass exams, why would you need them moved?
In reality they are nothing but seeing if you can pass exams though so they should space them better.
I've never heard of them getting moved for people.
