1. The only sort of disadvantage would be (i assume) is if the country you are applying from is competitive as the acer website says that interstate and overseas applicants are grouped into regions in which the 4% rule applies

3. Here is some general advice on how to handle the exam:
   -In the multiple choice tests, scan all the question in the pages that are open and solve the ones that you can, then move to the next set of pages and repeat. Once you get to the end of the booklet, repeat the process by solving the next set of questions you can.
   -When there is 5 minutes left, shade all the unanswered questions with a guess and then answer the unanswered questions.
   -There will be a timer going off to indicate that there is 5 minutes left (the invigilator will announce it), so don’t panic when you hear the timer go off for the first time
