Administrateur Greffes CI exam-day guide
Administrateur Greffes CI · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Convocation / confirmation of registration
Bring the registration confirmation or convocation issued by the test provider, in printed or digital form as the provider allows. Confirm with the provider which format is accepted and whether a printed copy is mandatory.
Valid photo ID
Bring the identity document specified in your registration (national ID card or passport are the usual options). The name and spelling must match your registration exactly. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether a copy is needed.
Second form of identification (if required)
Some centres ask for a second document. Check your convocation. If it is not stated, confirm with the provider whether a second ID is required. needs_review
Exam fee receipt or payment proof
Keep proof that your fee was paid in case of a dispute at check-in. Confirm with the provider whether this is needed on the day. needs_review
Confirmation of test centre address and access route
Verify the exact address and building entrance the day before, and plan the route including public transport or parking. Test centres sometimes share a building with other organisations; check which desk to report to.
Arrival time and reporting instructions
Note the reporting time stated on your convocation, which is usually earlier than the start time. Confirm with the provider how early you should arrive and what happens if you are late.
Permitted items only
Bring only what the provider authorises into the test room. Phones, smart watches, notes and bags are normally stored outside the room. Confirm with the provider the list of authorised materials and whether a locker is available.
Water and a light snack for the break
If breaks are scheduled, keep water and a snack accessible outside the test room. Confirm with the provider whether food and drink are allowed in the waiting area.
Rest and logistics the night before
Sleep, set two alarms, and prepare clothes and documents the evening before so the morning is calm. Prefer a route you already know.
Medical or accessibility arrangements
If you requested extra time, a separate room or another accommodation, bring the provider's written confirmation. Confirm with the provider that the arrangement is recorded on your file. needs_review
Emergency contact and provider phone number
Save the test centre or provider contact number in your phone in case of transport problems or a last-minute question.
Plan the day
Re-read the convocation and the provider's candidate rules line by line. Check the exact address, reporting time, accepted ID and list of authorised items. Write down any unclear point and contact the provider now rather than on the day.
Review your weak areas only, using short focused sessions rather than new material. For a grafts administration role, prioritise the procedures and terminology you are least sure of, and stop studying new topics in the final evening.
Prepare your documents in one folder: convocation, ID, any accommodation confirmation and payment proof. Check that the name on the ID matches the registration.
Confirm the journey: transport times, parking, and a backup route. Check the weather and any transport disruptions. Aim to arrive well before the reporting time.
Pack the bag with documents, water, snack and clothes. Remove anything that could be refused at the door, such as notes or a smart watch.
Do a light review of key definitions and procedures, then stop. Eat a normal meal, avoid alcohol, and go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Eat breakfast, take your ID and convocation, and leave with a margin for delays. Re-check the reporting time before leaving.
On arrival, follow the check-in procedure: present your ID, store prohibited items, and locate the toilets and the room. Ask staff if anything is unclear.
Read the instructions on the paper or screen before starting. Note the total time and the number of questions, and set a rough pace per question.
Answer the questions you are sure of first, mark uncertain ones, and return to them. Do not spend too long on a single question.
If a break is scheduled, use it to stand, drink water and reset. Do not discuss the questions with other candidates.
Before the end, check that every question has an answer if there is no penalty for wrong answers, and that your name and candidate number are correct on the answer sheet or screen.
Rules to check
Bring the identity document specified in your registration. The name must match exactly. If your ID is lost or expired, contact the provider before the test; do not assume an alternative document will be accepted. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted.
Arrive at the reporting time on your convocation. Late arrival may mean refusal of entry, and the decision rests with the test centre. Confirm with the provider the late-arrival policy and whether the fee is refunded.
Electronic devices, notes and unauthorised materials must be stored as instructed. Keeping a phone or smart watch on you in the test room may be treated as misconduct. Confirm with the provider the exact list of prohibited items.
Follow the invigilator's instructions at all times. Do not communicate with other candidates during the test, and do not copy, photograph or share question content. Suspected misconduct may lead to cancellation of your result.
Breaks are taken only when the provider allows them. If you need to leave the room, raise your hand and follow the invigilator. Confirm with the provider the break schedule and the rules for leaving the room.
Scoring and pass marks are set by the provider. Do not rely on hearsay about the pass threshold. Confirm with the provider how the test is scored, whether wrong answers are penalised, and when results are released.
If you have a disability or medical need, request accommodation in advance with supporting documents. Accommodation is usually not arranged on the day. Confirm with the provider the deadline and the evidence required.
Keep your convocation and result documents. If you believe there was a technical or procedural problem during the test, report it to the invigilator immediately and follow the provider's appeals procedure afterwards.
