OCC Exame de Avaliação Profissional exam-day guide
OCC Exame de Avaliação Profissional · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Photo identification
Bring the original government-issued photo ID you registered with. Confirm with the provider which document types are accepted and whether a copy is valid.
Exam admission confirmation
Print or save the confirmation/registration document the provider sends, including date, time, and venue or remote-testing details.
Know the venue and route
Confirm the exact address or online platform and plan arrival with buffer time. Verify start time and reporting time with the provider.
Permitted items only
Check the provider's list of allowed items (e.g., pencils, calculator type, water). Leave prohibited electronics and notes at home.
Calculator policy
Confirm whether a calculator is allowed and which models are permitted or banned before relying on one.
Scratch paper and writing tools
Confirm whether scratch paper and pencils are supplied or must be brought; do not assume.
Remote-testing setup (if applicable)
If testing online, confirm system requirements, camera/microphone checks, and room rules with the provider in advance.
Rest and logistics
Plan sleep, meals, and transport so you arrive calm. Know the nearest parking or transit stop and any building entry requirements.
Review key formulas and concepts
Bring a short personal summary of high-yield formulas and definitions for last-minute review, subject to provider rules on notes at the venue.
Emergency contacts and provider number
Save the provider's contact number in case of delay, illness, or technical problems on exam day.
Plan the day
Confirm date, time, venue/platform, and ID requirements with the provider. Re-read the exam regulations. Do light review of summaries and weak topics; avoid cramming new material. Prepare documents, permitted tools, and clothing in advance.
Do a final logistics check (route, transport, remote setup). Pack ID and permitted items. Stop intensive study early, eat well, and prioritize sleep. Note the reporting time and set alarms.
Eat a normal meal, arrive early with buffer time, and re-check that you have your ID and permitted items. For remote testing, complete system checks and clear your workspace per provider rules. Stay calm and avoid last-minute cramming that raises anxiety.
Read instructions and scoring rules carefully. Budget time per section, answer easier questions first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. Watch the clock, keep answers within the requested format, and use remaining time to review flagged items.
Rules to check
Present valid original photo identification matching your registration; confirm accepted document types with the provider before exam day.
Follow all instructions from invigilators and the provider's written regulations; ask the provider in advance about any ambiguity rather than improvising.
Do not bring or use prohibited materials or devices (notes, phones, smart watches, unauthorized calculators); confirm the permitted-items list with the provider.
Breaks, restroom access, and leaving the room are governed by provider policy; confirm the rules for your exam format before the test.
Scoring, passing thresholds, and any penalties for incorrect answers are set by the provider; confirm these details rather than assuming.
If you are ill, delayed, or experience a technical failure during a remote exam, contact the provider immediately and follow their stated procedure.
Keep your workspace and behavior consistent with the provider's integrity rules; suspected misconduct may be handled under the provider's disciplinary policy, which you should confirm.
Do not rely on memory of another candidate's experience for rules; always verify current exam-day policy with the official provider.
