You might want to post the question to Hopkins on the above thread. Cos these things can and do change.

My wife is booked on April 25th with Hopkins. The schedule they emailed through was
L & R 9.00-11.00am
S only 1.00-1.30pm

We might have been able to catch the last flight back to Tagbilaran (3.00pm) but decided to spend another night rather than rush about.

Thanx Marie for the advice,might as well save the P1000 and save more from the hotel money.

Thanks all for the good luck wishes.

We wont be attending the workshop as its a couple of days before and just adds to the expense of staying over. My wife has gone through everything we can find for free online and is getting in the region of 80% so as the A1 pass mark is I believe 12 and 25% she should be alright :xxgrinning--00xx3:
As mentioned though its important to follow the instructions just as much.

Just a heads up regarding the location of Hopkins for those country bumpkins like us from the provinces that dont get to city that often.....

They are in a building just about right at the convergence of EDSA, Gil Puyet, Makati and Ayala avenues so you can imagine what the traffic was like at 8.00am.....

Allow plenty of time travelling, my wife was getting stressed in the taxi which doesnt help obviously as the minutes ticked away. Got there just in time (8.30) as the others were entering the room but it had taken us 45 minutes to go about 1 mile from the hotel...

Also there is not alot else in walking distance of the test centre for companions to do as you are not allowed to wait in reception. There is a McD, KFC, Chicken Inasal next door and a Starbucks behind the building.

Good luck to all future attendees!!

Yes. My wife travelled in from Cavite and allowed enough time to get there with an hour to spare, just in case. I think she popped in to McDonalds next door when she arrived and had breakfast beforehand...
