Albania State Medical Exam (Provimi i Shtetit - Mjekësi) exam-day guide
Albania State Medical Exam (Provimi i Shtetit - Mjekësi) · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the original ID document (passport or Albanian ID card). Confirm with the provider which specific documents are accepted and whether a photocopy is allowed.
Admission/exam permit document
Print or download whatever confirmation the organizing body issues for your sitting. Confirm with the provider how it is delivered and whether a printed copy is required.
Exam venue and session details written down
Note address, room, reporting time, and contact number on paper so you do not depend on your phone.
Black or blue ballpoint pens (two)
Bring spare pens in case one fails; confirm with the provider whether answer sheets require pen only or permit pencil.
Water and a light snack
Only if permitted at your venue; confirm with the provider whether food and drink are allowed in the exam room.
Any permitted reference or calculation aids
Confirm with the provider the exact list of allowed items; do not assume calculators or notes are permitted.
Personal medication and hygiene items
If you need medication during the exam, confirm with the provider in advance how to declare and access it.
Leave valuables and smart devices at home
Phones and smart watches are commonly prohibited in the exam room; confirm with the provider the policy on devices and storage.
Plan the route and travel time
Do a dry run or check transport schedules so you arrive with a buffer before the reporting time.
Rest and normal meals the day before
Avoid last-minute cramming that shortens sleep; exam performance depends heavily on alertness.
Confirm identity-document name matches registration
Check that the name on your ID matches your exam registration exactly; contact the provider early if there is a mismatch.
Emergency contact and provider phone number
Save the organizing body's contact so you can call if something goes wrong on the day.
Plan the day
Re-read the official exam instructions and confirm venue, reporting time, and permitted items with the provider. Review high-yield topics with short, timed practice sets rather than new material. Prepare your documents and bag in advance.
Check travel arrangements and, if the venue is unfamiliar, do a practice trip. Protect sleep: keep a consistent bedtime and avoid all-night study.
Pack ID, permit, pens, and any permitted items in one place. Re-confirm the reporting time. Eat a normal dinner, set two alarms, and stop studying early enough to sleep.
Eat breakfast, dress comfortably in layers, and leave with a generous travel buffer. Recheck that your ID and permit are with you before leaving.
Report at the stated time, follow staff instructions for identity checks and seating, and keep devices off and stored as directed.
Read instructions fully before starting. Answer easier items first, mark uncertain ones, and return to them. Watch the clock and reserve time to transfer answers correctly and check that no item is left blank unless the rules penalize guessing.
Note anything you found unclear and follow the provider's stated process and timeline for results and any appeals.
Rules to check
Bring the original government-issued photo ID specified by the provider; entry may be refused without it. Confirm accepted documents with the provider before exam day.
Follow all instructions from invigilators, including seating, timing, and rules on leaving the room; failure to comply can lead to disqualification.
Do not bring or use phones, smart watches, or other unauthorized devices in the exam room; confirm with the provider where devices must be stored.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam or attempt to view others' answers; misconduct can void your result.
Confirm with the provider in advance the rules on breaks, water, and medication, and how to request them on the day.
Confirm with the provider the scoring and pass criteria, including whether unanswered questions are penalized, before deciding how to guess.
If you believe there is a problem with the exam conditions or a question, report it to the invigilator immediately and follow the provider's official complaints procedure afterward.
Keep your admit document and any result correspondence; confirm with the provider the official channel and timeline for results and appeals.
