How early should I arrive at the test center on the day of my test?
Typically, you are asked to arrive 15-30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This will give you an opportunity to check-in and relax prior to beginning your test. The amount of time you are asked to arrive at the center before your scheduled appointment time differs for each program. You will receive a confirmation email with program-specific information.
What happens when I arrive to take an exam?
When candidates arrive for an exam, they go through a standard admissions process. Candidates are asked to provide form(s) of identification, (NOTE: Some tests require 2 forms of ID while others require only 1) and to agree in writing to a set of exam rules and to sign a log sheet. In most cases, your photo and signature will be digitally captured as they would appear on your results report. Some exam sponsors may have other identification or check-in requirements. You can preview Pearson VUE's privacy policy on www.pearsonvue.com/legal/privacy.
What ID do I need to bring to the test?
Typically, you are asked to bring one form of government-issued photo identification. Some test programs have additional requirements. The items you are asked to bring differs for each test program. You will receive a confirmation email with program-specific information. [Failure to provide proper identification will be grounds for refusal to admit you to the testing area and you will not be eligible for a refund.]
