For Answer Key of Battleships, does the order of the coordinates matter? I don't suppose they do, but just in case an 'alphabetical-order' or something is required?

Order does not matter. Alphabetical will be preferred, but with Battleships, we always end of checking the answers manually.

I don't think the dates can change once its announced. Btw, does your exam time clash? (2:00pm-4:30pm?)

Hi Organisers,

I will be giving the test from an internet center. I have few questions regarding the login
Will there be multiple logins allowed ?
If there is a power outage or network issue can I login (from different system) with no loss in the data that I have submitted prior to the issue(s) ?
I remember something like this were previously answered in the forum, but not able to find it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ravi

Multiple players can login from same computer. There will be a logout button at the bottom of the page (Similar to No Numbers test)
