AGMT exam-day guide
AGMT · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Acceptable photo ID
Bring the original, unexpired government-issued photo ID specified by the exam provider. Confirm the exact ID requirements with the provider; a driver's license or passport is commonly accepted, but do not assume.
Exam appointment confirmation
Have your appointment confirmation number, test center address, and check-in time accessible (printed or on your phone). If testing remotely, confirm the login link and system check time with the provider.
Provider-approved calculator
Confirm with the provider whether a calculator is permitted, what models are allowed, and whether an on-screen calculator is provided. Do not bring an unapproved device.
Test center logistics plan
Know the route, parking or transit options, and arrive with buffer time. Check the provider's arrival and late-arrival policy in advance.
Break and snack plan
Confirm the break policy (timing, duration, whether breaks are optional) and whether food or water is allowed at your seat. Pack a small snack and water only if the provider permits it.
Medical or accommodation documentation
If you have approved testing accommodations, bring any confirmation or documentation the provider requires. Confirm the process with the provider beforehand.
Remote-testing environment check (if applicable)
For online proctoring, complete the provider's system test, secure a quiet private room, and clear your desk of prohibited items. Confirm allowed materials and room rules with the provider.
Review logistics confirmation
Re-confirm the exam date, time, location (or remote link), and any updated health or security requirements 24 hours before the exam. Policies can change; verify with the provider.
Personal items plan
Plan where to store bags, phones, and smart devices. Most providers prohibit these in the testing room; confirm storage options with the provider.
Rest and readiness
Prioritize sleep, hydration, and a normal meal. Avoid last-minute cramming that disrupts rest.
Plan the day
Confirm all logistics with the provider (ID, appointment, calculator policy, break policy, accommodations). Do a light review of high-yield topics and practice pacing; avoid learning new material. Prepare your bag and documents.
Re-confirm the appointment time and location (or remote link). Lay out ID, confirmation, and approved items. Review the provider's rules on conduct and prohibited items. Get a full night's sleep.
Eat a normal meal, arrive early per the provider's guidance, and complete check-in. Leave prohibited devices stored as directed. Stay calm and read instructions carefully.
Read each question fully, manage your time, and flag uncertain items to revisit if the interface allows. Use breaks only as permitted. If a technical issue occurs, notify the proctor immediately.
Rules to check
Bring the exact ID required by the provider; entry may be refused without it. Confirm acceptable forms with the provider.
Follow all proctor instructions and the provider's conduct rules. Do not communicate with other candidates or use unauthorized materials.
Keep phones, smart devices, and unauthorized notes out of the testing room; store them as directed. Confirm the prohibited-items list with the provider.
Use only approved calculators or materials. Confirm the policy with the provider before exam day.
Breaks are governed by the provider's policy; confirm timing, duration, and whether breaks are optional. Unapproved breaks may affect your time.
Scoring and pass/fail determination follow the provider's published policies. Confirm how results are reported and when they are released.
If you experience a technical or personal issue during the exam, notify the proctor immediately and follow the provider's incident process.
Report any suspected exam irregularity to the provider per their policy; do not discuss exam content with others afterward.
