hi everyone

i just had a few questions regarding the actual exam day itself on dec 1 (the part 1 ndbe)

1. what time did u all report for the exam? they say 830am but i have heard that people have gone there earlier to be in time for the instructions.

2. are we allowed to take a few things with us? do they have lockers or some place where we can leave our stuff generally? what do we do with the ID documents we take with us?

2. do they allow only the test takers into the lunch area? or can i meet with my hubby during lunch?

3. i need to know if they will let u have breaks in between during the first and second test sessions?

4. how long do they let u off for lunch?

5. do they let u keep some water/juice with u at the test area?

...am wondering what i will do if i get famished too in the middle?😛

i know this may sound a little silly to some of u but i think i would rather be prepared for the day than go there unawares......

thanks in advance for all your answers.....🙂
 
hi toothmail....

its definately not silly at all.. everybody gets such doubts......

okie.. no need to be so tensed n so prepared.. exam is very cool.....

as far as i remember wat ever time they hav given u to be there ... thats enuf.... if u still worried try n be there by 8.15... that is more than fine....

n abt wat to carry n all... nobody actually bothers there.... wat ever stuff u take. u can keep it in the exam hall itself.. either in the back or front of the hall....

u can take breaks in between also.... n u can hav water or some drinks along with u n u can drink any time u want..... n abt the lunch break.... its like u can go anywhere u want n u can meet anybody u want.... but u hav to report back at wat ever time they giv u.........
usually lunch break is for an hour..... so chill out n hav fun ....

all the best......

HI:
1)-Try 2 be there at 8:00 AM ,and stick to the hall door so U enter the first...........why????, cause at my hall some of the chairs at the back had LARG tabels(which will help U a lot).unfotunatly mine had only the seat's hand stand(which is very small).You will appriciate this advice after 3 hours of the exam.

2)-U can take your handbag whith U inside+water+food+candys+chocolate(Very Very important ,cause your blood sugar will go down at the end of the exam).Ofcourse.........you can't take any thing related 2 the exam so DO NOT EVEN THING ABOUT CHEATTING ,CAUSE YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE TIME..........just kidding.They will just take a look at your ID ees when U are admitted and give it back wright away.

2)-Every one goes 2 lunch breake=45 minutes ..so U can meet everybody,including your grandparents.
3)-And this is the ONLY break that U will get after BIOCHEM+ANATOMY.........(READ THE NDB-1 BOOKLET CAUSE EVERY THING IS WRITTEN IN IT).It is true that you can get extra break if you signed,but I do not think you will have time for that.
4)-45 minutes
5)-Yes.
6)BE prepared to stay longer than the assigned time.I mean be prepared 4 the worse.During my exame we had a fire evacuation for one hour..........so we were done with part-1 at 6:15 pm.

Final advice😀O NOT STUDY THE NIGHT BEFOR THE EXAM DAY+AND TRY 2 SLEEP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ,YOU WILL NOT FEEL YOUR BODY PARTS 4 TOW DAYS AFTER THE EXAM.

I wish U all the luck.

thank you so much sam3.....

could someone tell me if i can keep candybars with me at the exam table in case i am all hypoglycemic in the middle of the session?
 
i guess u can....... nobody actually bothers........🙂

Hi dent2003
I've to take in Dec 1 too and Bio /Physio , I think it's very hard. I'm looking in the back of the ASDA Booklet, how many Q's about some items , , like NRV, Circulatory, and I am giving so much importance to that. I mean, about blood, it's only 1 question, so , it's not so important for them....but NER, Circulatory, Rspiratory, Renal, there are a lot of Q's about ...so keep in mind that there are some items more important than others .....
maybe it helps .......
