Examen Integrado Enfermería exam-day guide
Examen Integrado Enfermería · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID
Bring the original, unexpired ID the testing provider requires (usually a government-issued photo ID such as a passport or national ID). Confirm the exact accepted documents with the provider before test day.
Admission or confirmation document
Print or save the appointment confirmation, admission ticket, or registration email if the provider issues one. Confirm whether a printed copy is required.
Know your candidate/registration number
Have your registration or candidate ID accessible in case it is requested at check-in.
Review the provider's item and calculator policy
Some exams prohibit personal calculators, notes, or scratch paper; others supply them. Confirm the rule with the provider rather than assuming.
Plan your route and arrival time
Check the test center address, transport options, and recommended arrival window (often 30 minutes early). Confirm the arrival requirement with the provider.
Dress in layers and comfortably
Test rooms can be cold or warm; choose clothing without excessive metal to speed security screening.
Plan food, water, and medication
Eat a normal meal beforehand and bring any necessary medication, following the provider's rules on items allowed in the testing room.
Get a full night's sleep
Prioritize sleep over last-minute cramming; fatigue hurts reasoning on clinical-judgment items.
Leave valuables at home
Most centers restrict bags, phones, and watches in the testing room. Confirm storage options with the provider.
Know the format and timing
Review the number of items, time limit, and whether the exam is fixed-form or adaptive, using official provider materials only.
Plan the day
Stop learning new content. Do focused review of high-yield areas (prioritization, delegation, medication safety, fluid and electrolyte basics) and re-read your own summary notes.
Take one timed practice set under exam conditions, then review only the rationales you got wrong. Do not start a new question bank this late.
Confirm test center location, start time, ID requirements, and what is allowed in the room with the provider.
Light review of mnemonics and lab values. Prepare clothing, ID, and confirmation documents in one place.
Do a short review (60-90 minutes maximum), then stop. Check transport plans and set two alarms.
Eat a normal dinner, avoid heavy caffeine and alcohol, and go to bed at your usual time.
Eat a real breakfast, hydrate moderately, and arrive at the center with time to spare. Avoid last-minute cramming in the parking lot.
Follow staff instructions, present your ID, store prohibited items, and use the restroom before the exam begins.
Read each item fully, identify what is being asked (priority, first action, best response), and eliminate clearly wrong options before choosing.
Pace yourself: note the time limit and item count, and aim to finish with a few minutes to review flagged items. If unsure, answer every item; confirm the provider's scoring rule on unanswered items.
Use scheduled breaks if allowed. Stand, stretch, and reset attention. Confirm break rules with the provider before the exam.
Write down which topics felt weak while memory is fresh, but do not change answers based on post-exam anxiety.
Rules to check
Bring the exact ID the provider specifies; without it you may be denied entry. Confirm accepted documents with the provider in advance.
Follow all testing-center security rules: no phones, smartwatches, notes, or unauthorized materials in the testing room unless the provider explicitly allows them.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam or attempt to record, photograph, or share exam content; this is typically grounds for score cancellation. Confirm the provider's misconduct policy.
Ask the proctor or provider, not other candidates, about break rules, calculator use, and scratch materials.
Answer every item unless the provider's scoring rules penalize incorrect answers; confirm the scoring policy beforehand.
If you feel unwell or need to leave, notify the proctor immediately and follow their instructions; do not leave the testing area unannounced.
Report any technical problem with the testing device to the proctor right away so it can be documented.
Do not rely on unofficial claims about passing scores or item counts; use only official provider information.
