Apoderado General Despachante de Aduana · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (DNI/passport)
Bring the original document, valid and unexpired, matching the name on your registration. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether a photocopy is ever allowed.
Exam registration / admission confirmation
Print or download the confirmation showing your name, date, time, and venue or session link. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is required.
Venue location and access details
Verify the exact address, building entrance, and room, plus transport time. If the exam is remote, confirm the platform link and any access code in advance.
Permitted writing materials
Bring pens/pencils and any allowed items (e.g., eraser, sharpener). Confirm with the provider the exact list of permitted and prohibited materials, since rules vary by session.
Calculator or reference materials (if permitted)
Do not assume these are allowed. Confirm with the provider whether a calculator, tariff schedules, or legal texts may be used, and which models or editions are accepted.
Personal medication and water
Bring any necessary medication and a small water bottle if the venue permits. Confirm with the provider whether food and drink are allowed in the exam room.
Watch (non-smart)
A simple watch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is not visible. Confirm with the provider whether wristwatches are permitted and whether smart devices are banned.
Plan to leave phones and smart devices outside
Expect phones, smartwatches, and earbuds to be prohibited or collected. Confirm with the provider the handling procedure for personal devices.
Rest and logistics plan
Arrange sleep, meals, and travel so you arrive early with margin. Confirm with the provider the recommended arrival time and late-entry policy.
Review of exam format and scoring
Re-read the official instructions on number of questions, time limit, and pass mark. Confirm with the provider any details not stated in your admission documents.
Plan the day
Re-read the official exam instructions and confirm venue or remote-session logistics, ID requirements, and permitted materials with the provider. Assemble documents in one folder and check travel time.
Do light, targeted review of high-weight topics and practice pacing with timed question sets. Avoid learning brand-new material; focus on consolidating what you already know.
Lay out ID, confirmation, pens, and any permitted items. Confirm transport or platform access, set alarms, and check the weather and route. Get a full night's sleep.
Eat a normal meal, arrive early with margin, and re-check that prohibited devices are left behind or stowed as instructed. Keep calm and review only brief summary notes.
Read all instructions, note the time limit, and answer easier questions first. Flag uncertain items, watch the clock, and reserve time to transfer or review answers per the provider's rules.
Rules to check
Bring valid official photo ID matching your registration; entry may be refused without it. Confirm with the provider the exact ID and verification policy.
Follow all instructions from invigilators or the remote proctor. Confirm with the provider the rules on late arrival, early departure, and re-entry.
Do not use phones, smartwatches, earbuds, or unauthorized notes. Confirm with the provider the prohibited-items list and consequences for violations.
Use only materials expressly permitted for the session (e.g., calculator, reference texts). Confirm with the provider before relying on any aid.
Breaks are typically limited and may be supervised; confirm with the provider whether breaks are allowed, how they are taken, and whether the clock stops.
Scoring, pass mark, and any penalty for incorrect answers are set by the provider. Confirm these details in the official instructions before the exam.
If you believe a question is defective or an incident occurs, notify the invigilator or proctor immediately and follow the provider's incident-reporting procedure.
Keep your answers and materials to yourself and do not communicate with other candidates during the session; confirm with the provider any specific conduct rules for your venue or platform.
