How early should you arrive for the Ontario bar exam?
Three months out and I am already planning the morning, which probably tells you everything about how I am handling this.
Official guidance says one thing. What did people actually do. I am a chronic over-arriver and I am trying to work out whether standing outside for an hour is going to settle me or wind me up.

Early enough that a delayed train does not end your day, and not one minute earlier than that.
The extra hour is not calm time. It is an hour in a room full of people who are all quietly panicking, and it is contagious.
Accepted answer
I got there 45 minutes early, sat in a coffee shop two streets away for 25 of them, then walked over. Best decision I made all day. You get the safety margin without the queue.
This is the answer I was looking for and I did not know it. Thank you.
whatever you do, check the actual location the week before and not the morning of. two people in my sitting went to the wrong building
Adding this to the list too. The list is getting long but it is a good list.
Nothing wrong with asking now, but actually put this out of your head until late October. Logistics are a one evening job. The thing that decides November is what you do in the next eight weeks, and it is not your travel plan.
