• One of the ways that you could do is to write down the things you need to fill up on a piece of paper. This will help you while you are using E-HO.

• Think carefully which hospital you really want to go and write them down as well. So if the hospital you want did not appear, you can still choose the next available option.

2nd: Check internet speed

- either check the one in your house or in the cyber cafe near your area. You can just ask for the availability and remember when they start business. 

- Speed and Ping 

    As long as the Ping is below 10, it is consider good

-  Cyber Cafe Spots

3rd: Check browsers available

- open a few browsers to try and try again till you get into the website.

4th Reach early!

- Some CCs are more famous and good then the others which causes a lot of candidates flood the CC. Make sure you reach early so you can book one seat!

- You can try asking to see if they allow you to book in advance before the actual day of E-HO (usually 3 days after you get the email.)

- So far they always starts opening the system on 12pm SHARP. 

5th : Pray and hope you can get what you want

Warning

All this serves as a reference only, there is still possibility that you could not get the hospital you want due to unforeseen circumstances. 

I am so sorry if you did not get what you want. If you are willing to wait for another round and didn't want to regret on the decision you made, to go somewhere you do not want. I suggest you defer your houseman-ship. If you already waited for 10 months why not wait for another 2 months to get a better offer?

Do not panic and not to choose a random hospital ! 

- if you cannot get the hospital you want, wait for another few minutes and refresh again. there are possibilities the hospital you want will reappear. 

 

There are students who tries swapping hospitals but the possibility of it being successful is very low. 

If you are wondering if there are pre-housemans' out there, join the Pre-HO group in telegram for updates. 

Wish you all the best and good luck!
