What to expect on CBT exam day

For many candidates, the computer is more intimidating than the questions. Knowing what to expect on exam day removes much of that anxiety.

Before you leave home

  • Check your exam slip for the centre, date and time
  • Carry the documents your exam body requires
  • Arrive early: late candidates may not be admitted

At the centre

Expect identity checks, often including biometric verification, before you are assigned a seat. Listen carefully to the instructions on how to navigate between questions and subjects.

During the exam

Keep an eye on the timer, answer the questions you know first, and flag harder ones to return to. Practising in a real CBT environment beforehand makes all of this feel familiar, which is exactly why we run weekly mock exams at our centre.
