congrats and good luck on the interview

[timcass_12 5]

That is so true The guard immediately directed me to the 2/F Immunization Area when I went there to get my results last May 27. I was a bit confused at first because the 2 persons lined-up before me were asked to stay at the ground floor and get their medical exam status through the receptionist. I even asked the guard if he gave me the right direction as I didn't know that it's one indication if you passed or if you have problems with the results. I'm glad he asked me to go to the 2/F relieved!

btw, congrats anais!

another hint that you passed if the guard told you on the second day to proceed to vaccination room at 2nd floor..but if the guard told u to proceed to medical results in ground floor at the start that a no..no...
