    At check-in you have your photo taken and a palm-vein scan recorded, then you are walked to your workstation.

    Everything you carry goes into a locker: phone, watch, bag, notes, and food all stay out of the testing room.

    Breaks depend on the exam you are taking; some allow none, some allow scheduled breaks, and the clock keeps running.

Arrival tips

Arrive at least 30 minutes early to account for long check-in lines and security procedures. Bring two forms of government-issued ID.

ID requirements

Two forms of government-issued ID are required. A passport or driver's license is acceptable.

Biometrics

A palm scan is required at check-in.

Security

Security is strict, with multiple ID checks, scanning, and a palm scan required at check-in. You must store your belongings in a small locker.

Lockers

Lockers are small and can only fit small items like keys and a phone; a backpack will not fit.

Prohibited items

You cannot bring any personal items into the testing room, including phones, watches, and bags.

Wait time

Expect a long wait time from arrival to sitting down at the test station, due to extensive security checks and a high volume of test-takers.

Facility

The testing room is old and not well-maintained, with uncomfortable seating and outdated computers. The room is often cold, so bring a sweater or jacket.

Noise level

The testing room is noisy due to construction in the building, and the noise from the hallway can be heard during the test.
