CDMX Mediador Privado exam-day guide
CDMX Mediador Privado · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (original)
Bring the original document you used in your registration (typically a valid INE/IFE voter ID, passport, or professional cédula). Confirm with the provider which IDs are accepted and whether a copy is ever allowed; do not assume a photocopy will be accepted.
Exam appointment confirmation / registration folio
Print or download the confirmation showing date, time, venue or access link, and your registration number. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is required or a digital copy suffices.
Proof of payment or registration receipt
Some centers ask for the payment receipt or a registration voucher at check-in. Confirm with the provider whether this is required and in what format.
Venue logistics and arrival plan
Verify the exact address or platform, nearest transit access, and estimated travel time in Mexico City traffic. Arrive with margin; confirm with the provider the recommended arrival window and the cutoff time after which entry is denied.
Exam format and permitted materials
Confirm with the provider whether the exam is paper-based or computer-based, whether it is open-book, and whether you may bring the applicable mediation statute, codes, or a calculator. Bring only what is expressly permitted.
Time allocation plan
Know the total duration, number of items or sections, and whether sections are timed separately. Write a simple per-item or per-section time budget before you begin.
Personal comfort items allowed by the rules
Water in a clear container, tissues, and any permitted medication. Confirm with the provider what is allowed at the desk; unlabeled bottles and personal bags are commonly restricted.
Breaks policy
Confirm with the provider whether breaks are scheduled, whether you may leave the room, and whether the clock stops during a break. Plan hydration and restroom use around those rules.
Scoring and results information
Confirm with the provider the passing score, weighting of sections, whether wrong answers penalize, and how and when results are published.
Review and appeal channel
Ask in advance how to request a score review or report an incident, and what the deadline is. Confirm with the provider; do not rely on informal channels.
Rest and logistics the day before
Sleep, meals, and transport should be settled so the exam morning is routine. Avoid new study material late the night before.
Backup plan for contingencies
Save the provider's contact number and email; know what to do if you are delayed, ill, or the platform fails. Confirm with the provider the policy for rescheduling or technical incidents.
Plan the day
Re-read the official exam guide or syllabus and confirm format, duration, permitted materials, and venue or platform requirements with the provider. Build a one-page summary of the legal framework and procedural steps you will review, and stop expanding into new topics.
Do one timed practice set under realistic conditions and review errors by category rather than re-reading everything. Identify the two or three weakest areas and schedule short focused reviews for them.
Prepare documents and materials: ID, confirmation, receipt, permitted reference materials, and comfort items. Place them together in one bag so nothing is hunted for on the morning.
Confirm the venue address or access link, travel route, and arrival time. For a computer-based exam, test equipment, camera, microphone, browser, and internet connection, and confirm with the provider the technical requirements and check-in procedure.
Light review only: key definitions, procedural sequences, ethical duties, and time budget. Set out clothes and documents, set two alarms, and go to bed at a normal hour.
Eat a normal meal, avoid heavy caffeine if you are sensitive, and arrive early per the provider's recommended window. Leave your phone and any prohibited items as instructed; confirm with the provider where they must be stored.
Present your ID and confirmation, follow staff or proctor instructions exactly, and note the start time and any stated break schedule. Ask the proctor only procedural questions; content questions will not be answered.
Read the instructions, confirm the number of items and time remaining, and write your time budget. Do a quick scan to identify lengthy case items so you do not run out of time at the end.
Work in passes: answer clear items first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. For case scenarios, identify the parties, the conflict, the procedural stage, and the applicable principle before choosing an answer.
Ensure every item has an answer if there is no penalty for guessing, confirm you have not mis-marked a section, and submit according to the proctor's instructions. Note anything you need to raise afterward.
Record what you found difficult while it is fresh, confirm with the provider the results timeline and review procedure, and keep your confirmation and receipts until results are final.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID used at registration and present it on request. If your ID is expired, lost, or name-mismatched, contact the provider before exam day; do not assume an alternative document will be accepted.
Follow all proctor and staff instructions on seating, materials, and movement. Unauthorized materials, notes, or devices at the desk are typically treated as a conduct violation; confirm with the provider the exact list of prohibited items.
Keep all communication devices off and stored as directed. If a device sounds or is used during the exam, it may be treated as misconduct regardless of intent; confirm with the provider the consequences.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam and do not attempt to copy, photograph, or record exam content. Exam content is confidential; confirm with the provider the confidentiality terms you agreed to.
Breaks: follow the provider's stated policy on scheduled breaks, leaving the room, and whether the clock runs during a break. Do not leave the room without permission.
Scoring: understand in advance the passing score, section weighting, and whether unanswered or wrong answers affect your score. If the format is unclear, ask the provider before exam day, not during the test.
If you experience a technical failure, illness, or disturbance during the exam, notify the proctor or provider immediately and ask how the incident will be documented. Confirm with the provider the procedure and deadline for reporting incidents.
Results and review: use only the official channel and deadline to request a review or appeal. Do not rely on informal assurances about scores; confirm with the provider how and when results are issued.
