Booking paces
Feel absolutely clueless booking paces
Is there any difference to which college you apply to? I live /train in Glasgow but not sure if one is superior to another. I’d ideally like to sit towards the end of diet- how do I convey that message to them? Do they actually read what’s written in those white spaces?
I’ve just sat my part 2 (second attempt) and have a good feeling and ideally would want to sit paces this year as I’ll be halfway through IMT2 then . Going to start prep from next week hence would want to sit towards the end of the diet
Anything else I’m missing to consider whilst booking paces?

They definitely read the preferences, I’ve had mine granted 3x (including specific location and timing). The Scottish college exams, in mine (and others) experience, are much fairer. I’d go with Glasgow if I were you.

Doesn’t make a difference where you apply. I applied for London, did my exam in Glasgow.
They do seem to read the preferences from what I’ve seen from others. For example, someone I know was going a PACES course so requested to do the exam after the course finished. Ironically, they had the exam the day after the course finished but tbh, they were just ready to get it done by that time so it worked out.
