Tips for tomorrow?

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions for people who have already sat Gamsat AU:

What time should we get there? It says 8am on the ticket but is there any reason to get there earlier to avoid cues and whatnot.
What time can we expect to be out by?
Bags yay or nay?

any other tidbits

Cheers  8)

Get there at around 8am, don't have to be sharp on time because it takes ages to get everyone seated and you'll be lining up for ages. I was sitting down for like an hour and a half.

Expect to be done by around 6ish, it'll depend on how long they take to sit people down after the lunch break.

Yay to bags, you put them on the side of the hall.

Tidbits, ignore shit-talking or overly anxious people. Not too different from GAMSAT UK, just heaps more people (a big proportion of whom are sitting it for the first time)

Absolutely man. Set it to 12 o clock before each section and start it when writing time begins. Helps you keep track of time better.

Hope everyone went well. All the people I know sitting the test have been on my mind all day, so I've been sitting here feeling guilty I don't have to do it... I can only hope everyone's done really well. :)
