IN-PERSON EXAMS

Arrive at the test centre at least 15 minutes before your test is scheduled to start.  If you arrive after this time, you will not be admitted. Instead, you’ll have to re-register and pay the full exam fee again before you can schedule another exam sitting.

When you enter the test centre, proceed to the reception desk and present your ID.  The test centre staff will let you know whether to wait in the seating area or head straight to one of the numbered computer terminals in the testing room.

Leave any personal items in the lockers beside the seating area. You are not permitted to take anything into the testing room. This means no watches, wallets, bags, pens, papers, books, stationery, food, water, mobile phones and other electrical devices such as tablets and calculators.

When you enter the testing room, you will have a numbered desk with a computer terminal. Pearson VUE provide examinations for many awarding bodies, so candidates may be sitting alternative exams in the testing room with you.

There is an invigilation desk in the testing room, from which the invigilator has a clear line of sight to every desk and computer. Your computer will only display the exam for which you are registered.

Once you’ve completed your exam, follow the instructions on screen and leave the testing room. Go to the reception desk where the Test Centre Administrator will hand you a print out of your provisional examination results.
