Things to Know Before You Enrol

- Enrolment may close before the test. The page showed a countdown, but we couldn’t confirm what it was counting down to, so don’t assume you have until 10 Oct.
- Track choice comes later. You pick it only if you qualify for Round 2.
- Dates can change. Always confirm on the official page.
The Line to Remember
A free contest costs you only the time to take it, and even a rank outside the prizes can leave you with a certificate and a clearer sense of where you stand.
