Sanitář exam-day guide
Sanitář · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Confirm the exact exam format and scoring with the provider
Ask the provider directly: is the exam written, oral, practical, or a combination; how many parts; the pass mark; and time limits. Do not rely on second-hand information. Mark as needs_review until confirmed.
Valid photo ID
Bring the ID type the provider requires (national ID card or passport is typical). Confirm the accepted document type with the provider in advance.
Admission letter / registration confirmation
Printed or digital copy showing your name, exam date, time, and venue. Confirm whether a printed copy is mandatory.
Writing materials
Two pens, a pencil, eraser, and a ruler. Confirm whether the provider supplies answer sheets or you must bring your own.
Non-programmable calculator (if permitted)
Confirm with the provider whether calculators are allowed and which types are banned. If unsure, leave it at home and ask on arrival.
Basic trade hand tools you were told to bring
For a practical plumbing (sanitární) component, the provider usually specifies which tools and materials are supplied versus which you bring. Confirm the exact list with the provider.
Work clothing and safety gear
Work clothes, safety shoes, and gloves are common requirements for practical stations. Confirm the required safety equipment with the provider.
Know the venue, route, and arrival time
Check the address, transport connections, and how early you must arrive (often 15–30 minutes before start; confirm). Do a route test a day or two ahead.
Leave prohibited items at home
Phones, smartwatches, and notes are usually banned in the exam room. Confirm the provider's rules on storing personal belongings.
Plan food, water, and any medication
Bring water and a snack for breaks. If you need medication or accommodation, contact the provider in advance.
Read the instructions on the day
Read the full instruction sheet before starting; ask the invigilator about anything unclear rather than guessing.
Plan the day
Re-read the provider's exam instructions and confirm format, permitted aids, tools, and venue details. Review your weakest topics with short, focused practice rather than new material. Pack your bag with ID, admission letter, pens, and any confirmed tools. Sleep on a normal schedule.
Light review only (key formulas, procedures, safety rules). Lay out clothes and everything on the checklist. Confirm travel plan and set two alarms. Avoid cramming late into the night.
Eat a normal breakfast, arrive at the venue early, and re-check that you have your ID and admission letter. Leave prohibited items at home or in storage as directed. Use the restroom before entering the room.
Read all instructions first, note the time limits for each part, and allocate time accordingly. Answer the questions you know first, then return to harder ones. For practical stations, work safely and follow the stated procedure; if something is unclear, ask the invigilator. Leave time to check your answers and your work area.
Rules to check
Bring and present the photo ID required by the provider; without acceptable ID you may be refused entry - confirm the accepted document type with the provider.
Arrive by the stated time; late arrival rules vary, so confirm with the provider what happens if you are delayed.
Follow the invigilator's instructions at all times and do not communicate with other candidates during the exam.
Phones and smart devices must be switched off and stored as directed; confirm the provider's policy on personal belongings.
Only use aids (calculator, notes, tools) that the provider explicitly permits; ask before using anything you are unsure about.
Break rules differ by provider - confirm in advance whether breaks are allowed, how many, and whether you may leave the room.
Scoring and pass criteria are set by the provider; confirm the pass mark and whether partial credit applies before exam day.
If you believe there is an error in a question or a problem with the conditions, raise it with the invigilator immediately rather than after the exam.
