Wow guys, I really can’t believe the test is in 2 weeks! Also thanks for reminding me to check my desk number :)
Not even 2 weeks:/, I haven’t been taking it seriously enough, I might just change my first preference to SCHS since all my friends have it SCHS.

I dont think it goes by the order of last names... I thought it went by like when you submitted your application and thats your number...
Btw I'm desk number 2546

There is definitely more than 3000 students as im in the 3200's so im guessing 3.3k at least but i dont think there would be 4 - 4.5k because 1) thats way too many and 2) i dont think the building can fit that many desks and students in there.

Opinions differ tbh. Some people have told me that they are almost the same but other have said it's a waste of money and isnt even close to the actual exam. I did a mock exam with hendersons and tbh I really liked it as you find out your strengths and weaknesses. However, don't get carried away by the results you get on a mock exam aha (one of my friends sister got 3 sups on the mock exam but only got 1 in the real exam)
Good Luck to everyone! 8 more days ahh

My seat number is 2948, I guess I postponed my registration for this exam too much.

:0 you’re only 34 seats away from me! Also I’m not sure about the registration order thing because all the people with the same letter last names in my school are sitting very close together. So who knows  :-\

I guess you are right but, one of my friends surname starts with S and she is seat number 2734 but another one of my friends surname starts with S too but she is seat number 869. Where as, my surname starts with R and I am in the middle of both of them(2546), kinda confusing ehh
