A question: How long does it take to get the exam results?
Within a month if my memory serves me right, that was my time when there are more test subjects. Today there are only three instead of five I think, so should take less than a month.

Extra note, in my time, examinees apply the schools before taking the exams, within a week after the scores are published one will get to know if and which school has recruited him/her. Today, application and recruitment happens after the "shortened" scoring period, so probably within a month one would know what school he/she has get.
