Study: Many test organizations suggest study guides or other reference materials that are covered on their exams. Use them to study and start studying early!

Prepare: Be sure to bring a government-issued ID card and your Exam scheduling confirmation to the test center. Each testing organization has different requirements about what you’ll need to check in and sit for your exam. These can vary greatly by test sponsor, so please read your exam testing organization’s requirements carefully.

Take Note:Every testing organization also has different requirements about what materials you can or can’t access during your exam. Any materials that you are permitted to have, such as paper or a calculator, will be provided to you at the test center.

Rest:The night before your exam, get a good night’s sleep! You’ve likely studied long and hard for your test, so give yourself the best possible chance to succeed by getting enough sleep the night before.

Arrive Early: The day of your test, arrive at the center early, so that you have plenty of time to park, if necessary, check in and get settled before the test.
