I don’t want to come into the exam room at 8:30am and sit around for 30 minutes and do nothing. What if I were to just review notes for 30 minutes and enter at exactly at 9:00am when the exam starts? How would I be at a disadvantage? Anyone planning on doing this or have done this in the past?
Thanks.
If you want, you can do so. But, you will have to take the exam again next year because you would not be allowed to enter the exam room after 8:30 AM.
No, you have 30 minutes from when the exam starts…

Quite honestly, given the amount of time invested so far into this venture, my preference would be to just get in there early and not risk compromising myself. In all seriousness, what do you think you will be able to absorb over that 30 minute period that will make any significant difference?
Maybe it would help me remember an equation or two.
Review your notecards outside the entrance door.
Review until 8:59am?
So what did you end up doing?
Probably started lining up into the exam room at 8am!
At ours, they shut the doors at 8:45 and close down the water and bathroom lines inside the room as well.
I reviewed my notecards until the minute before they closed the doors.
Gold.
