Tips for the test day itself

  • Book at least 3 days ahead, and with the same ID you’ll bring on the day.
  • Arrive at the time in your confirmation email. The booking service’s terms set a minimum arrival time of 30 minutes before your appointment.
  • Use the questions at the start. The booking service says the test opens with questions that don’t count, to help you get used to the format.
