    time in the exam to write your candidate number and organise booklets

    hi, the lady who supervised our english exams just told us to not waste time filling in the information..she let us do it in the end after the exam before we signed out....so i guess just ask the supervisor before hand

    drop bus studies & pick up extension 2 maths ?

    btw...i don't think there are any specific requirements for uni entry regarding subject choices (they are usually recommendations) unless you're applying for early entry...but just check with the different courses as they may be different for the ones you want to apply for..so don't quote me on this

    time in the exam to write your candidate number and organise booklets

    thanks guys..i was worried about that but i guess -may-cat- is right, you would get quick at it. my main concern was for maths as there are so many booklets per question but those are after my english exams so hopefully by then i will be quick.
