EXAMINATION PRIMER
If you finish a part before the allotted time, you can use your time
wisely by reviewing your answers for that particular part only. You
will not be allowed to proceed to the next part nor will you be
allowed to go back to a previous part.
You will take the examination in one sitting for approximately four
(4) hours. This includes the reading of instructions, filling-out of
forms and the actual testing. Hence, you will not be allowed to
leave the room once the test starts except to go to the comfort
room, when necessary.
Eat a heavy meal prior to going to your test session. You will not
be allowed to eat at anytime during the test to minimize removal
of face mask but you may bring water with you. Make sure that
you do not smear any of the test materials.
