Stručni ispit za zdravstvene radnike · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID (original, unexpired)
Bring the same government-issued document you used when registering (ID card or passport). Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether a copy is allowed. - needs_review
Exam invitation or registration confirmation
Print it if the provider requires a paper copy, and save an electronic version on your phone as a backup. Check the exact reporting time and room number on it.
Proof of paid exam fee
Bring the payment receipt or bank confirmation if payment is required before the exam date. Confirm the payment deadline and accepted proof with the provider. - needs_review
Documentation of completed internship and mentor records
Some candidates must present evidence of the completed professional internship (pripravnički staž) and mentor's confirmation. Confirm the exact document list with the provider well in advance. - needs_review
Diploma or certificate copies if requested
Bring originals plus copies only if the provider asks for them; do not assume certified translations are needed without checking. - needs_review
Two blue or black ballpoint pens, a pencil and an eraser
Confirm whether the answer sheet must be completed in pen only; bring a spare pen in case one fails.
A simple non-smart watch
Many exam rooms have no visible clock. Confirm with the provider that a basic watch is permitted; smartwatches are usually treated as electronic devices.
Water and a small snack
Bring these only if the venue allows them at the desk; otherwise store them where the invigilator directs. Confirm the venue's rules in advance.
Travel and venue plan
Check the address, entrance, and public transport routes the day before. Aim to arrive 45–60 minutes early to allow for registration and ID checks.
Any necessary medication or medical aid
Tell the invigilator before the exam starts if you need to keep medication or a medical device with you. Ask the provider in advance about any required medical certificate.
Leave prohibited items at home
Do not bring notes, textbooks, smartwatches, or other electronic devices into the exam room. A phone, if brought, must be switched off and stored as directed.
Confirm exam format and language
Ask the provider whether the test is paper-based or computer-based, how many questions it contains, and which language versions are available, so nothing on the day is a surprise. - needs_review
Plan the day
Re-read the official invitation and confirm the reporting time, venue, and required documents. Contact the provider immediately if anything is unclear or missing. Do not start new topics; review summaries, legal references, and your own error list instead.
Prepare the document folder (ID, invitation, payment proof, internship records) and place it with your pens and watch so it cannot be forgotten. Check that your ID is unexpired and that the name matches your registration.
Plan the journey, including backup transport, and decide on a realistic departure time. Check opening hours and access rules for the building if the exam is in an unfamiliar institution.
Protect sleep: keep bed and wake times close to normal, avoid all-night study, and stop studying by early evening on the day before the exam.
Light review only: skim key definitions, protocols, and legal provisions, then stop. Prepare clothes, food, water, and transport money. Confirm the alarm and a backup alarm.
Reread the provider's rules on permitted items, breaks, and late arrival. Confirm with the provider any policy you could not verify, such as whether a late candidate is admitted. - needs_review
Eat a normal meal and arrive at the venue 45–60 minutes early. Present your ID and invitation at registration, follow the seating instructions, and place all prohibited items where directed.
Use the toilet before entering the room, switch off your phone, and tell the invigilator quietly about any medical need. Read the cover page of the test carefully before answering.
Read each question fully, answer the easier items first, and mark uncertain ones for review. Keep an eye on the time and leave a few minutes to transfer answers correctly and check that no item is left blank unintentionally.
If you need a break, raise your hand and wait for the invigilator; note that break time may not be added to your working time. If a question seems flawed, record the item number and raise it through the official channel afterwards, not during the test.
Rules to check
Bring and present the original photo ID used at registration. The name on the ID must match the name on the registration; if it does not, resolve this with the provider before exam day. - needs_review
Arrive at the reporting time stated in the invitation. Confirm with the provider in advance whether late candidates are admitted and under what conditions. - needs_review
Switch off all phones and store them, together with smartwatches and other electronic devices, where the invigilator directs. Do not keep any device at your desk.
Notes, books, and unauthorised aids are not permitted. Use only scratch paper supplied by the invigilator, and hand it in at the end if required.
Follow invigilator instructions and maintain exam silence. Talking, looking at another candidate's paper, or attempting to use prohibited material may lead to removal and invalidation of your result.
For toilet or water breaks, raise your hand and wait to be accompanied or directed. Confirm with the provider whether break time counts against your working time. - needs_review
The pass mark, question weighting, and any penalty for wrong answers are set by the provider. Confirm these details before the exam rather than assuming a scoring method. - needs_review
Results and appeal deadlines are issued by the provider. If you believe a question was defective, note the item number and submit your concern through the official procedure after the exam.
