Hi,

I was just wondering if people who have experience taking the night exam (530 pm) could tell me what they thought of it. I'm worried that fatigue may set in since it ends at 11pm....Can seasoned night takers give me some advice on this?

Thanks.
 
oof, i think that would be a baaad bad idea. i've read accounts where people took it in late afternoon and got so tired by the end. i've also read some where people took it at like 8am or earlier - their problem was that, like most people, can't sleep the night before the test, so they were shot. your best time would probably be mid-morning, early afternoon (i took mine at 10 am).
 
I started mine between 10:45-11 am. The night before I went to bed around 1am and woke up at about 5am because I couldn't sleep in anticipation of the test, but I did sleep A LOT the day before. I started getting tired and was yawning towards the end of my test which ended around 3:00.
 
I couldn't imagine taking it that late. Mine was scheduled for 12:30PM but all I wanted to do that morning was get it over with. I ended up getting to the testing center over an hour early and they let me go ahead and get started on it.
 
i'm not taking the exam as late as you are, but mine is at 4pm. i've actually been taking my full-length practice exams close to my actual test time so i get used to it. it's really not that bad if you practice doing this a couple times, and then by your test date, it should feel normal! well, that's what i'm hoping for myself anyway... good luck!
 
Shouldn't the 4.5 hour exam end at 10pm?

Just go in at 5 and start it.

They block off 5.5 hours for it. I guess the reasoning is 15 minutes to get registered, 15 for the tutorial, 15 for the break, and then 15 for the survey. Obviously it doesn't take that long...

I guess a pro to doing it late is there may not be many others there banging on their keyboards.
 
ive scheduled mine for 5pm on the 27th....i thought it would help because i thought id b too tired to take the exam in the morning esp if i cant sleep the night before... i hope it works :/
 
Mine was scheduled for 4:30 and I got there at 2:30 and they just let me start it then. Call ahead of time and ask how early you can get there. If they have space open you can start earlier than 5:30.
 
I wish there's 12am because that's the time when my brain cells are in full-throttle.... hehehe...😀
