=== Announcements ===

* The start time for the test has been moved to '''6:30pm''' (Thursday 24th April). You are allowed 10 minutes reading time prior to the start, so do take advantage of this by coming in at around '''6:15'''. The venue is '''Eng.3403'''
* This Wednesday (23rd April)'s tutorial will go over parts of past years' tests, so post anything you want revised in [[SE251:Test_Tut|Test Revision]] by end of Tuesday.
* Some questions in the past years' tests may not be relevant to this year's test, as the order in which the material is covered each year is slightly different. Refer to [[SE251:Test_Tut|Test Revision]] for details.
