I paid for the ecam on OCT 15th, i got an email which said I will receive info about the test centre and date 5 days before the exam - is this normal?

My exam is on 15th December.

Now the important question - I read somewhere(probably in an email) that candidates are allowed to take the speaking test 7 days before or after the exam date.

How accurate is this info?


An :) y help appreciated

I have maybe heard from Skype students having their speaking exam confirmed at short notice.

I have not heard about the possibility to choose 7 days before/after, that I can recall.

I have often heard that the S may be on one day and the others 2 days later - perhaps sometimes all on one day.
