Unofficial study site · every figure links to an official source
The week before
- 5–7 days before, print your admission ticket from “My Account”. Bring it on paper.
- Check that your ID’s name and date of birth match your registration exactly.
- Confirm the centre’s address and how long it takes to get there.
Must bring
- Admission ticket (keep it afterwards — you need it to check results and collect the report).
- Original valid ID (passport, ID card, residence permit, etc.); outside your home country, a passport.
- Pencils (paper-based tests only).
Not allowed in the room
Apart from the essentials: no bags, phones, watches, laptops, MP3 players, timers, any device that can record, food or water. Essential medicine only with the invigilator’s approval.
If your ID is a problem
Without a valid ID you will not be admitted, and you cannot defer, withdraw or get a refund. If your passport is at an embassy for a visa, bring a copy plus the original visa receipt; you are admitted after verification.
Frequently asked
