Start that process the moment the notification is out \u2014 do not wait until the last week of the application window.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server load on the last submission date.<\/strong> The official portal sees heavy traffic in the final two to three days before the deadline. We strongly advise submitting at least five days before the last date to avoid failed uploads or session timeouts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>School-level forwarding deadlines differ from the student-facing deadline.<\/strong> Your school often has an internal cut-off a few days earlier than the official last date, so that the head teacher has time to compile and forward forms.
