Came late for JLPT...

I can't believe if you came late for JLPT exam, you cannot enter the exam hall.

This is what happen to me last Sunday, for just 10 minutes late. Felt bit frustrated...

"Just 10 minutes...."? Why were you late?

 

[Muz1234]

Car was blocked, force to take train...

 

[mdchachi]

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. How often is the test? Only once a year?

The same rules apply to university exams: even a minute too late means you failed. In your country, are you admitted when delayed?

I missed check-in for a plane by 4 minutes once. I'm chronically late but if something is important I try to get there 30 minutes early so I'll at least get there on time in the worst case scenario. Live and learn.

I've had some close calls but haven't missed boarding yet.

I was flying standby and it took me just a little too long to get to the airport. Fortunately I was able to go out the next day without much consequence. I've been better about it ever since

Twice...
