Due by............whats the meaning

I am a graduate who has to do an online test. I have been revising but when I got the email it says: "which should be completed by 20/01/2008", does that mean that I have Sunday as well to complete it or I have to complete it before Sunday?

I have been studying most of the week and would appreciate any help.

Yes, not clear. Ask them.

I would say that your email should be posted BEFORE midnight on the 20th.

But don't take chances, email it on the 19th Emotion: wink

Three years too late to a reply, but just in case someone happens by this (yes, pun intended)

According to a bing search:

PREPOSITION before that time: happening or required at or before a particular time


"reservations required by Sunday"

Due by a certain date means no later than that date. For example, "Taxes are due by April 15th" means you have until midnight on April 15th to file your tax return.
