    I am, doing it in RCSI how about you?
    I have done very little preparation for it and lack the motivation to do prep at this stage-a little too little too late I think !
    Do you know if we're allowed to leave our phones under our desks?Personally don't fancy leaving my belongings in some dodgy place..

    How are you set for it? I'll employ the tried and tested strategy for multiple choice test taking of guessing my way to the 99th percentile oh well. In all honesty, having looked at practice exam one, timing will be my nemesis.

    I’m in RCSI too for the exam. I still think you have some time to prepare, even if you conquer the time constraints, it will definitely help. Did you watch any of the practice videos? I found them helpful.

    Yeah, you can leave your phone under the table, face down and turned off. Make sure it’s completely off as my friend was fined last year for an alarm going off mid exam.

    Thank you !
    Jesus a fine 😂 After paying 150 already I'd have told them to get lost.

    It says to be there by 9:45, apparently last year some centres didn't start the test until 11am..should be fun.

    I purchased ACER practice 3 and will complete 1 and 3 before Saturday, the videos are quite helpful but one question in section 1 is like 6 minutes long. Why do ACER do this to us lol
