AIL DILI B1 exam-day guide
AIL DILI B1 · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the same government-issued photo ID you used at registration. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether the name must match your registration exactly.
Admission or confirmation document
Bring the booking confirmation, admission ticket, or test-center instructions you received. Check the provider's rules on whether a printed copy is required or a digital version is acceptable.
Appointment time and location confirmed
Re-check the exact start time, time zone, and address or online meeting link the day before. Arrive with buffer time in case of transport delays.
Permitted stationery
Bring only what the provider allows (commonly pencils/pen and eraser if paper-based). Confirm with the provider what is supplied versus what you must bring, and what is prohibited.
Water and a light snack for before/after
Check the provider's rules on food and drink in the test room; many centers restrict items at the desk. Plan to hydrate and eat before entering.
Know the test format and timing
Review the number and type of sections, question formats, and total time so you can pace yourself. Use only official format information from the provider.
Review the scoring and result timeline
Understand how the test is scored and when results are released. Confirm these details with the provider if they are not in your confirmation materials.
Plan your route and backup
Know how you will get there, how long it takes, and a fallback option. For online tests, test your device, camera, microphone, and internet connection in advance.
Rest and normal routine
Sleep well the night before and avoid last-minute cramming. Eat a normal meal so you are not distracted by hunger or caffeine spikes.
Read all instructions carefully
At the start, read the instructions and any sample questions fully before the timer begins or as directed.
Time-management plan
Decide in advance how long to spend per section or question and when to move on. Flag hard items and return to them if the format allows.
Know the conduct and ID rules
Read the provider's rules on ID checks, prohibited items, breaks, and misconduct before test day so nothing surprises you.
Plan the day
Confirm appointment details, ID requirements, and what to bring. Do a light review of format and key skills rather than new material. Prepare your bag and documents. Protect your sleep schedule.
Re-check time, location or link, and transport plan. Lay out ID, confirmation, and permitted items. Avoid heavy cramming. Set alarms. For online tests, run a full device and connection check.
Eat a normal breakfast, hydrate, and arrive early or log in ahead of time. Leave buffer for delays. Keep calm and review only brief notes if allowed.
Read instructions fully, watch the clock, answer easier questions first if the format permits, flag and return to hard ones, and leave time to review. Follow all proctor and conduct rules.
Rules to check
Bring the exact ID the provider requires and be ready for identity verification; confirm accepted ID types with the provider.
Follow all instructions from the proctor or invigilator and the provider's rules on permitted and prohibited items.
Do not communicate with other candidates or use unauthorized materials or devices during the test.
Confirm with the provider whether breaks are allowed, how they are timed, and what you may access during them.
Understand how the test is scored and whether wrong answers are penalized before guessing; confirm with the provider if unsure.
If you have a disability or need accommodations, arrange them with the provider well in advance, not on test day.
Report any technical or procedural problems to the proctor or support immediately rather than trying to fix them yourself.
Keep your registration details and results documentation; confirm with the provider how and when results are released.
