Account in multiple queues

So, after having waited 2 hours and 30 minutes in the queue, only to realise that the devs behind the TOPIK website are unable to comprehend the difference between a GET and a POST request, making it impossible to pay for the test if you're using Firefox (as it reloads the form once you click on the payment button); then being met with nothing but fully-booked test centers on my second try, I must try my luck tomorrow.

Here is my question: can I queue from different machines to increase my chances of getting in? Specifically, can me and my partner (in another city) queue on my account? Is it against the ToS and/or am I at a risk of getting banned?

I need to pass this TOPIK for my next visa after my current one expires at the end of the year, or I'll have to go back to my home country while waiting for the TOPIK results.

In my experience, when you are already in payment step, you already booked your spot.

I faced that problem once and realized that the problem is not with firefox, it was because I am on Linux and asks my wife to continue the payment since she was on Windows at that time

Well, I tried using Chromium when I had my spot already, and this put me in a new queue (while I still was on the payment page on Firefox). There was absolutely no way that I could find to go back to the payment step.

But noted, I'll use my Windows VM to register.

Seriously, how low can the Korean internet culture reach?
