Instructions for Exam Day
On the day of the exam, arrive 15 minutes before the start of the test with your exam notice and a valid ID. A photo will be taken for inclusion on your certificate to prevent identity fraud. Refusing the photo will mean you cannot receive your result certificate. For paper-based sessions, don’t forget to bring a black pen.
