Concurso Magistratura Mendoza exam-day guide
Concurso Magistratura Mendoza · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (DNI)
Bring your original national ID document (DNI). Confirm with the provider which specific document(s) are accepted and whether a passport or other ID is valid if the DNI is unavailable.
Exam registration/inscription proof
Carry the document or receipt showing your registration for the concurso. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is required or a digital version is accepted.
Printed exam pass / citación
If the provider issues a citación (summons) indicating time, venue, and seat, print it. Confirm with the provider the exact format and whether it must be printed.
Blue or black pens (multiple)
Bring at least two reliable pens of the color the instructions require. Confirm with the provider which ink color and writing implements are permitted.
Pencils, eraser, and sharpener
Useful for multiple-choice answer sheets or rough work. Confirm with the provider whether scratch paper and pencil use are allowed.
Analog watch (no smart features)
A simple watch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is not visible. Confirm with the provider whether any wrist devices are prohibited.
Know the exact venue and arrival time
Reconfirm the address, building entrance, and reporting time. Confirm with the provider at least 24-48 hours in advance, as venues and schedules can change.
Plan transportation and arrival buffer
Arrive well before the reporting time to allow for security checks and seating. Confirm with the provider how early doors open and whether late entry is allowed.
Review prohibited items list
Leave phones, smartwatches, notes, and study materials outside the exam room unless the provider states otherwise. Confirm with the provider the exact list of prohibited items and storage options.
Light snack and water (if permitted)
Bring only if the provider allows it in the room. Confirm with the provider whether food and drink are permitted and whether breaks are scheduled.
Read the full instructions/reglamento beforehand
Familiarize yourself with the exam structure, scoring, and conduct rules published by the provider. Confirm with the provider any details not explicitly stated in the official materials.
Rest and logistics for the night before
Prepare clothes, documents, and route the night before so the morning is calm. Confirm with the provider whether any dress code or additional requirements apply.
Plan the day
Re-read the official instructions and reglamento from the provider. Confirm venue, reporting time, ID requirements, and permitted/prohibited items. Prepare and pack your documents and writing materials. Do light review of high-level structures rather than cramming new material.
Simulate exam conditions once: practice pacing and time allocation for each section under a timer. Check your transportation plan and identify a backup route.
Confirm again the venue address, entrance, and reporting time with the provider. Lay out clothes, ID, registration proof, pens, and watch. Charge nothing that will be prohibited; leave smart devices at home or plan storage. Set two alarms and go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Eat a normal breakfast, arrive early with buffer time, and present the required ID and documents at check-in. Follow staff instructions for seating and materials. Use the restroom before entering the room if breaks are limited.
Read all instructions and verify the number of pages/questions before starting. Allocate time per section and leave a few minutes to review. Answer easier questions first if the format allows, mark uncertain items to revisit, and ensure your answer sheet matches your intended answers. Watch the clock and submit according to staff instructions.
Rules to check
Present the required original photo ID at check-in. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and what happens if you lack them.
Arrive at the reporting time; late entry policies vary. Confirm with the provider the exact cutoff and consequences of arriving late.
Do not bring prohibited items such as phones, smart devices, notes, or study materials into the exam room unless explicitly permitted. Confirm with the provider the full list and any storage arrangements.
Follow all instructions from exam staff and invigilators; failure to comply may lead to sanctions. Confirm with the provider the disciplinary rules in the official reglamento.
Breaks and restroom access are governed by the provider. Confirm with the provider whether breaks are allowed, whether they are timed, and whether you may leave and re-enter the room.
Scoring, penalties for wrong answers, and passing thresholds are set by the provider. Confirm with the provider the exact scoring rules before the exam; do not assume a guessing penalty or its absence.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam or attempt to access unauthorized materials. Confirm with the provider what constitutes misconduct and the applicable consequences.
Keep your answer sheet and materials within your own workspace and submit all required materials before leaving. Confirm with the provider the procedure for handing in and dismissing.
