After verifying your identity, the person in charge of the approved center or the invigilator(s) will tell you where you should sit in the examination room.

The tests are paper-based. You will be required to leave your identification in plain view on the table throughout the test so that your identity can be verified during the test.

Throughout the tests, candidates are not allowed to communicate with each other or with the outside world.
