Your checklist
Valid photo ID (KTP or passport)
Bring the original government-issued photo ID used in your registration. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether a photocopy is allowed as backup.
Printed exam admission card / participant card
If the provider issues an admission card, print it and check that your name, exam site, and session time are correct. If you have not received one, contact the provider before exam day.
Exam venue confirmation and route plan
Re-check the exact building, hall, and reporting time in your official notice. Plan arrival at least 60–90 minutes early to allow for traffic, security checks, and finding the hall.
Comfortable, layered clothing and flat shoes
Exam halls are often cold and sessions are long. Dress in layers and avoid new shoes or clothing that may distract you. Follow any dress code stated in the official notice.
Water and a light snack for breaks
Bring water in a clear bottle and a small snack if breaks are scheduled. Confirm with the provider whether food and drink are allowed inside the exam hall.
Analog watch (if permitted)
Many computer-based test centres do not provide a visible clock. Confirm with the provider whether a wristwatch without smart features is allowed; smartwatches are usually prohibited.
Review of the official exam format and scoring rules
Know the number of questions, time per section, and whether scoring penalises wrong answers. Use only the official candidate handbook or provider announcement for this information.
Personal medication and necessary medical items
If you need regular medication or have a medical condition, bring what you need and inform the invigilator if required. Confirm with the provider how to declare medical items before the exam.
Leave valuables and prohibited electronics at home
Phones, smartwatches, and other electronic devices are typically not allowed in the exam hall. Confirm with the provider where bags and devices can be stored.
Rest and sleep plan for the night before
Avoid last-minute cramming that shortens sleep. A stable sleep schedule in the final week supports recall and concentration more than an extra night of study.
Backup transport and emergency contact
Arrange a backup way to reach the venue and save the provider's contact number in case of delay. If you are late, contact the provider immediately; late entry rules vary.
Confirm special accommodations in advance
If you need extra time or other accommodations, confirm with the provider well before exam day. Requests are usually not accepted on the day itself.
Plan the day
Stop learning new material. Review only your own summary notes, high-yield lists, and previously missed questions. Confirm the venue, reporting time, ID requirements, and transport plan using the official notice. Prepare your bag and documents the night before. Keep study blocks short and protect sleep.
Do a light review in the morning and stop by early afternoon. Visit or mentally rehearse the route to the venue. Prepare clothes, ID, admission card, water, and snack. Set two alarms. Eat a normal meal and go to bed at your usual time. Avoid discussing difficult topics with other candidates.
Eat a normal breakfast and hydrate moderately. Arrive at the venue 60–90 minutes early. Follow sign-in and security procedures. Use the restroom before entering the hall. Once seated, check that your computer or answer sheet is working and read the on-screen or printed instructions carefully.
Read each question fully before answering. Answer easier questions first if the format allows navigation, and flag uncertain items to return to. Keep an eye on the time and allocate it according to the number of questions. For clinical vignettes, identify the key finding and the question asked before choosing. If a break is scheduled, use it to stand, hydrate, and reset; do not discuss exam content with others.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID stated in your registration and present it when requested. If your ID is lost or expired, contact the provider immediately; replacement or exception policies vary and should be confirmed with the provider.
Follow all instructions from invigilators. Do not start before being told, do not continue after time is called, and do not communicate with other candidates during the test.
Electronic devices, notes, and unauthorised materials must not be brought into the exam hall. Confirm with the provider where to store personal belongings and what counts as a prohibited device.
Breaks are usually only allowed at designated times and with permission. Confirm with the provider whether unscheduled breaks are permitted and whether the test clock stops during breaks.
Scoring rules, including whether wrong answers reduce your score and how partial credit works, are set by the provider. Read the official candidate handbook and confirm any unclear rule with the provider before exam day.
Do not attempt to record, photograph, or share exam questions. Attempting to remove materials or reproduce content can lead to disqualification and further sanctions.
If you feel unwell or need assistance during the exam, raise your hand and speak to the invigilator. Do not leave the hall without permission.
Report any technical problem or irregularity immediately to the invigilator and follow their instructions. Confirm with the provider in advance how technical issues are handled and whether they affect timing.
