I have a small objection regarding third step of task 1.

This task wanted from us to finding all the posters that say something about arriving early and when I look at the results I saw Poster 1 near of the Poster 2 too.

Poster 2 ok but here is no data about arriving early in the Poster 1, if you mean for "Doors close 5 minutes before the exam begins." rule this is not about "arriving early", it's about "coming lately".

Hello sboyalikli,

I think 'Doors close 5 minutes before the exam begins' is about arriving early. It doesn't say that people will not be admitted after the exam begins, which would be about arriving late, as you say. Rather it is about not being able to enter five minutes before the exam begins, which mean arriving early and not just at the time the exam is scheduled to start.

Yes, I have many exams to take but I don't worry too much because I'm studying hard to pass them.

I don't like exam because it was very stress and anxiety. Therefore, I have no time to study new subject and things.

I'm University Student, but I don't have a lot of exam because my university don't need exam but I have a lot of assignment.
