Fill up
Hi,
“The best time slots for the maths exam fill up quickly."
"You should enrol in/ sign up for the exam as soon as possible. The spots/places fill up within the first two days."
"The doctor's office has filled (up) its capacity." (They can no longer accept new patients and schedule appointments with them.)
A British English speaker told me that these sentences wouldn’t be used. I wonder why. If that is really true, could you tell me what you’d say instead?
Thank you.

If you're taking a math course, the time of an exam for that course is set. There are no "slots" for an exam. If it's something like the math section of the SAT, there would always be space for more students.
