Final Tips from Faculty:
Double-check your admit card details tonight—discrepancies mean last-minute panic. On August 3, wear simple clothes (avoid metal/accessories) and reach by 7:30 AM to breeze through security. Use the 15-minute login window (8:45 AM) to calm nerves. Remember: strategic guessing isn’t worth the penalty—skip unsure questions!
