Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the original ID document accepted by the test provider; a copy or expired document may be refused. Confirm accepted ID types and expiry rules with the provider. needs_review.
Admission or registration confirmation
Print or save the confirmation if the provider requires it. Confirm whether a printed copy is mandatory and whether the confirmation must show a photograph. needs_review.
Two or more working pens
Pack at least two pens of the type allowed for written answers. Confirm the permitted ink colour and whether only black or blue ink is accepted. needs_review.
Pencil and eraser
Useful for drafting or for multiple-choice sections if permitted. Confirm whether pencils and erasers may be brought to the desk. needs_review.
Simple non-smart wristwatch
A basic watch helps pace the essay and literature sections. Confirm whether wristwatches are allowed and whether smart watches are banned. needs_review.
Water and a light snack
Bring these only if the provider allows food and drink at the desk. Confirm storage rules and whether bottles must be transparent. needs_review.
Printed directions and transport plan
Know the exact building, entrance, and arrival window. Check local travel disruptions and identify a backup route.
One-page review sheet
Summarise literary periods, key authors, works, terms, and essay structure for final review. Leave it outside the exam room unless notes are explicitly permitted.
Phone turned off and stored
Plan to switch off your phone and store it as directed. Do not keep it in a pocket or on the desk during the test.
Sleep and breakfast plan
Set two alarms and prepare a simple breakfast. Avoid trying to learn new material on the morning of the exam.
Confirmed prohibited-item list
Check the provider's current list of banned items, including smart devices, notes, and bags. Confirm where bags and phones must be left. needs_review.
Plan the day
Confirm the exam centre, start time, ID requirements, and permitted items with the provider. Write down any open questions and ask them before the final day.
Review the official format: section order, time limits, and scoring weights. Practise one timed essay and one set of literature questions under exam conditions.
List your recurring weaknesses in Armenian grammar, orthography, and literary analysis. Revise those first rather than rereading everything.
Pack your bag with ID, confirmation, pens, and allowed items. Lay out clothes and plan transport and money for the journey.
Do a light review of key authors, works, terms, and essay structure. Stop heavy study by early evening and protect your sleep.
Check the provider's website or messages once for changes. Avoid social media speculation about the exam content or rules.
Eat breakfast, leave early, and recheck that you have your ID and confirmation before departing. Arrive within the provider's stated window.
Leave notes and smart devices at home or store them as directed. Keep only permitted items with you at the desk.
Read all instructions and check the page count. Note the marks and suggested time for each section before starting.
For the essay, spend a few minutes planning a clear thesis and paragraph order. Write legibly and reserve time to proofread.
For literature questions, use specific titles, characters, and textual details. Answer the question asked rather than retelling the whole plot.
Watch the clock, but do not sacrifice the final proofreading pass. Check names, dates, grammar, and spelling before handing in.
Rules to check
Bring the original ID document accepted by the provider. Confirm accepted forms, expiry rules, and name-matching requirements with the provider.
Follow all instructions from invigilators about seating, materials, and leaving the room. Ask staff if an instruction is unclear.
Switch off and store electronic devices as directed. Unauthorized devices may lead to removal or score cancellation; confirm the exact policy with the provider.
Do not bring notes, books, or unauthorised aids into the exam room. Confirm whether a clear pencil case, bottle label, or other container rule applies.
Use only the answer sheets and stationery provided or permitted. Confirm whether extra paper can be requested and how to correct mistakes.
Breaks are usually limited and announced by staff. Confirm the provider's policy on toilet breaks, leaving early, and returning to the room.
Scores are based on the official mark scheme and rubric. Confirm the weighting of language, literature, and essay sections with the provider.
Raise a hand if you need help. Do not communicate with other candidates during the test.
