Test day tips: How to stay cool, calm and prepared on the test day

1. Be sure to look up the specific instructions for your testing centre and ensure you bring all necessary identification with you on the testing day as well as leave all prohibited materials at home.  

Nearly all testing centres will require you to bring at least two current forms of photo ID. Some test centres will not allow you to bring a cell phone with you to the centre at all while others may provide a space to lock your belongings prior to entering the testing space.

2. Know the exact physical location of the testing site; drive the route to the site prior to test day.

3. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting, layered clothing to the testing centre; prepare for it to be either cold or hot during the test. Again, be sure to check the testing centre regulations for what you’ll be allowed to bring into the room.

4. Arrive at the test venue early; be prepared to wait and be patient.

5. Know the test directions, duration, topics, question types, and the number of questions and come into the test with a plan for how much time you need to spend on each type of question.

6. The computer at your testing centre may be a model you are not familiar with using. Follow the directions on the screen. 

Calmly ask for support from a staff member at the centre if your

the system has any sort of malfunction during your exam.

7. Pace yourself; don’t rush, but keep working and move on quickly if you get stuck.

8. Keep your first answer unless you are positive it is wrong.

9. Check your work carefully for avoidable mistakes.
