AIL DILI B2 exam-day guide
AIL DILI B2 · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the exact ID document the provider requires (often a passport or national ID). Confirm with the provider which forms of ID are accepted and whether the name must match your registration exactly.
Exam appointment confirmation
Have your booking confirmation, candidate/registration number, and any access codes or links ready, on paper and on your phone.
Know the test location and route
Confirm the exact address or online platform and plan your route and arrival time. If the venue is unfamiliar, do a dry run beforehand.
Arrival time buffer
Arrive with time to spare before the scheduled start. The exact cut-off for late arrival is set by the provider - confirm it in advance.
Permitted materials only
Bring only what the provider explicitly allows (e.g., pen, water, confirmation printout). Confirm the permitted-items list; phones, notes, and smart devices are commonly restricted.
Technical setup (if computer-based)
If testing remotely, confirm the platform, browser, webcam/microphone, and connection requirements with the provider, and test them the day before.
Read the candidate handbook / rules
Review the provider's exam regulations on conduct, breaks, and what happens in case of technical problems or illness.
Rest and logistics the night before
Sleep well, eat a proper meal, and set two alarms. Arrange transport or a quiet space in advance.
Water and a light snack
Bring water and a small snack if the provider permits them and the test is long. Confirm whether food and drink are allowed in the room.
Emergency contact / provider phone number
Save the provider's contact number so you can report a problem (delay, illness, technical failure) promptly.
Plan the day
Stop learning new material. Review your summary notes and weak areas only. Confirm exam logistics: time, location or platform, ID requirements, and permitted materials - check with the provider if anything is unclear. Do one short, timed practice set to calibrate pacing, then rest.
Pack your bag or set up your desk: ID, confirmation, permitted items, water. Re-check the route or your internet connection. Avoid heavy cramming. Go to bed at a normal hour.
Eat a normal breakfast, re-check you have your ID and confirmation, and leave early. If testing online, log in early and run any required system checks. Stay calm and avoid last-minute discussions of difficult topics with others.
Read the instructions and time allocation carefully. Skim the paper or sections first, answer the questions you are confident about, and flag harder ones to return to. Watch the clock and keep a buffer for review. If a technical or personal problem occurs, notify the invigilator or provider immediately rather than trying to fix it silently.
Rules to check
Bring and present the ID document the provider requires; you may be refused entry without it. Confirm accepted ID forms with the provider in advance.
Follow all instructions from the invigilator or platform proctor. Do not communicate with other candidates during the test.
Do not bring or use unauthorized materials or devices (notes, phones, smart watches, etc.) in the test room or on screen. Confirm the permitted-items list with the provider.
Breaks: confirm the provider's policy on leaving the room, rest breaks, and whether the clock stops. Do not assume a break is allowed.
Scoring: understand in advance how the test is marked (e.g., whether wrong answers are penalized and how sections are weighted). If this is not published, confirm with the provider.
If you are ill or cannot attend, contact the provider as early as possible to ask about rescheduling or special consideration; policies vary, so confirm the exact rules with them.
Report any technical failure, disturbance, or suspected irregularity immediately to the invigilator or provider and follow their instructions.
