1) You should definitely study for it, I mean it is a performance evaluation
2) Wait after your first week of classes
3) You can pick it up later
4) Yes

There's no clear deadline really. As soon as it shows up on your payment agreement, choose osap as a payment option to make sure that you can use it.

It even says not to study for the test. It doesnt matter how you do because it means nothing, it's for the university's records.

They don't mark you on it, nor does it have any effect on your offer of admission. Only have a few more days of summer to enjoy before a brutal year of school, so I'm going to utilize my time for fun stuff now, and academic related stuff starting on the 8th of September. xD

In all truth, I heard the test itself was extremely hard. However, it is my understanding that last year all students writing it were excused half way through. Whether this was due to a fire drill or some other routine procedure, or something more sinister, I am not sure I am not at liberty to tell.
