Welcome back mafiaguy and thanks for your suggestion! It is quite an age. We hope to read more from you here.
On your suggestion, the entrance examination centers outside are determined yearly by the schools, most of the schools change the centers. But, the list are made available shortly before the examination after the schools announced.
