Examen Integrado - Medicina exam-day guide
Examen Integrado - Medicina · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the original, unexpired ID in the name you registered with. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether a second form is required.
Admission or scheduling confirmation
Print or save the confirmation showing date, time, and test-center address. Confirm the exact reporting time with the provider, as it may differ from the appointment time.
Approved calculator or none, per policy
Check whether a calculator is provided on-screen or whether a personal model is permitted. Confirm with the provider before bringing any device.
Permitted personal items only
Most centers restrict bags, phones, and notes to a locker. Confirm the provider's list of prohibited items and storage arrangements.
Comfort items allowed by policy
Water, snacks, and tissues may be permitted only during breaks or in a designated area. Confirm with the provider.
Layers of clothing
Test rooms are often cold. Avoid clothing with large logos or pockets that may trigger additional screening.
Know your route and backup plan
Scout the route and parking or transit options in advance. Plan to arrive early; confirm how late arrival is handled with the provider.
Rest and normal meals
Prioritize sleep in the days before. Eat a usual meal beforehand; avoid trying new caffeine or supplement routines on exam day.
Review logistics, not new content
Confirm start time, break policy, and section order with the provider so there are no surprises on the day.
Emergency contact and center phone number
Save the test center's contact number in case of delay or emergency. Confirm the correct number with the provider.
Plan the day
Stop learning new material. Review high-yield summaries, formulas, and your own error log. Confirm test-center address, reporting time, ID requirements, and break policy with the provider. Prepare clothing, ID, and confirmation in one place.
Do a light review only, then stop. Set two alarms. Charge devices and confirm transport. Eat a normal dinner and aim for a full night's sleep. Avoid intensive practice tests that could spike anxiety.
Eat a normal breakfast, hydrate moderately, and avoid heavy caffeine if you are not used to it. Leave earlier than the map estimate. Arrive at the center with ID and confirmation in hand; follow staff instructions for check-in and secure storage of personal items.
Read each question stem fully and note key qualifiers such as 'most likely' or 'except.' Answer easier items first if the interface allows navigation, flag uncertain items, and return to them. Use scheduled breaks to stand, hydrate, and reset. Watch the clock but avoid checking it after every question. If a question stalls you, make a reasoned choice and move on.
Rules to check
Bring the original government-issued photo ID in the exact name used at registration; confirm accepted ID types with the provider.
Arrive at the reporting time stated by the provider; confirm in advance how late arrival or absence is handled, as policies vary.
Follow all test-center security procedures, including any screening and the storage of prohibited items; confirm the prohibited-item list with the provider.
Do not bring notes, phones, smart watches, or other unauthorized materials into the testing room; confirm what is permitted with the provider.
Use only breaks authorized by the provider and remain within designated areas; confirm the break schedule and timing rules in advance.
Understand the scoring and guessing policy before test day; confirm whether wrong answers are penalized and how flagged or unanswered items are scored.
Treat other candidates and staff respectfully and follow staff directions; disruptive behavior may lead to removal, per provider policy.
If you believe there is a technical problem or a testing irregularity, notify the proctor immediately and follow the provider's reporting procedure.
