Test Day

You should arrive at the testing center at least 30 minutes earlier than your scheduled appointment, which allows time for the check-in process.

Your photograph will then be taken, and a biometric scan of your palm vein will be taken for identification and security purposes.

You will then be asked to place all personal items such as your phone, wallet, and keys in a locker outside the testing room, or you may be asked to leave them in your car.

Once the test begins, you will be allowed to take breaks. However, the timer will not be stopped during your break, so use your break time carefully.
