  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your slot for check-in.
  • Bring the exact passport used during registration — no other document is accepted at most centres.
  • Personal items, phones, and notes are stored in a locker; an erasable notepad is provided.
  • The test runs in one sitting of about two hours with no scheduled breaks; if you ask for one, the clock keeps running.
