1.Check the official appointment details

Confirm the date, time, address and format of your appointment using the official notice. Check whether you need to arrive early or bring a printed confirmation.

Do not rely on a screenshot from a practice website. Use the official communication for the final instructions.

2.Prepare the required documents

Read the official document list and put everything in one folder the day before. Check names, dates and identification requirements.

If an official page is unclear, contact the authority before test day rather than guessing.

3.Plan your journey and routine

Plan a route with extra time for delays. A calm arrival is more useful than one last minute of cramming.

Sleep, eat and bring water if the venue permits it. Follow the venue rules about phones, bags and personal items.

4.During the test

Read every question carefully and follow the official instructions. If you are unsure, manage your time before returning to difficult questions.

Do not compare your pace with other candidates. Focus on the question in front of you.

5.After the test

Follow the official instructions about results, next steps and any documents you need to keep.

If you are continuing to prepare, review what felt uncertain and return to the relevant category. Do not assume a practice score guarantees an official outcome.
