My first solo was held up by the weather, so when the Met picture started to improve a couple of days before one lesson I knew I'd be going solo. The same thing happened to a couple of other people at my club, so knowing in advance isn't that uncommon. Didn't make any difference to me - if you (and, more importantly, your instructor) aren't confident that you are solo standard then you wont go. If you are then knowing in advance doesn't really matter
