Part-66 Module 1 exam-day guide
Part-66 Module 1 · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the original government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID card). Confirm with the provider which ID types they accept and whether a copy is sufficient - this varies by centre.
Exam appointment confirmation
Print or save the appointment/booking confirmation showing date, time, and centre address. Keep the provider's contact number handy.
Approved calculator
Bring a non-programmable calculator if permitted. Confirm with the provider whether calculators are allowed and whether the centre supplies one.
Writing materials
Bring pens/pencils only if the provider allows them; many computer-based centres supply everything. Confirm with the provider what is permitted in the test room.
Personal items plan
Phones, smart watches, notes, and bags are almost always barred from the test room. Plan where to leave them and confirm the centre's storage policy with the provider.
Route and arrival time
Know the exact centre address and plan to arrive well before the start time. Confirm with the provider the required arrival buffer and late-arrival policy.
Rest and logistics
Arrange transport, meals, and sleep so that fatigue and stress are minimised on the day.
Syllabus awareness
Review the module syllabus and your own notes so you know the topic areas and question style. Do not rely on memorised answers from any source.
Break and access needs
If you need breaks, extra time, or other access arrangements, confirm eligibility and the application deadline with the provider well in advance.
Scoring and pass-mark awareness
Know the pass mark and scoring rules for your module. Confirm the current pass criteria with the provider - do not assume a figure.
Plan the day
Finish revision of weak topic areas using the syllabus as a checklist. Do light practice questions under timed conditions. Stop learning new material in the last day. Confirm your appointment details, ID, and travel plan.
Do a short review of summary notes only. Pack your ID, confirmation, and any approved items. Check the centre location and journey time. Get a full night's sleep; avoid cramming late.
Eat a proper meal. Arrive at the centre with time to spare. Leave prohibited items as planned. Re-read only high-level summaries; do not attempt new topics.
Read each question fully before answering. Answer the easy questions first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. Watch the clock and allocate time per question. Use any review time to check flagged answers. Follow all invigilator instructions.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID required by the provider; entry may be refused without it. Confirm the exact ID requirements with the provider.
Electronic devices, notes, and unauthorised materials must not be taken into the test room. Confirm the permitted-items list with the provider.
Follow all instructions from invigilators and test-centre staff. Any suspected misconduct may lead to invalidation of your result.
Breaks are usually only permitted where the provider's rules allow. Confirm the break policy and whether leaving the room is allowed with the provider.
Scoring and the pass mark are set by the provider. Confirm the current pass criteria and whether negative marking applies before the exam.
If you feel unwell or have an issue during the test, raise it with the invigilator immediately rather than after the session.
Report any technical problem with the test system to the invigilator at once; do not attempt to fix it yourself.
