Match more than a name
Check the role, institution, application reference and any identification method used in the official notice. Similar names are possible. Do not publish someone else’s personal details while asking whether a list is genuine.
Read the schedule line by line
A notice can list different days, venues or stages for different groups. Copy your own row into a calendar and read any notes about reporting time or documents. Do not use a friend’s schedule unless it explicitly covers your group.
Verify corrections at the source
Before travelling, revisit the issuing institution’s official notice page for amendments. Keep the original PDF and the most recent correction together so that you understand what changed. A forwarded message alone is not enough to replace the official schedule.
Prepare around the stated assessment
Use the advertised duties to practise relevant examples or tasks. Carry the documents actually requested and plan transport with a margin for delays. After the assessment, retain your reference and check the official next-stage process.
