I know by God's grace, I would win.

I've not been able to get my ID card because NASU is on strike, so registration and clearance was put on a hold in my school. Is there another way to show proof of admission? Cc Richiez

Yes admission letter will work.

Cc Richiez, Xfire

Hi Odunharry and Richie, I got the mail and I've taken the sample test but my name is not on the listed ones on this thread. On the other thread, it was number 400.

I hope it won't affect my chances.
