The test centre checks your admit card, photo ID, photograph and biometrics before you enter.
- You get one scribble pad and pen at the centre. Do all rough work on it and hand it back at the end.
- Writing anything on the admit card is treated as unfair means.
- Calculators are not allowed. Use the on-screen calculator.
- Bio-breaks are not allowed except in an emergency, and time lost is not given back.
- If your computer develops a fault, tell the invigilator. You will be moved to a new system with the timer paused.
- Appearing in more than one session is treated as fraud and leads to disqualification.
