What is inside

One week before

Confirm your deadline, check the email on your candidate profile, and take one full timed mock rather than loose practice questions.

The day before

Test the device you will actually use, check your connection, and stop studying early enough to sleep properly.

On exam day

Set up a quiet room, close every other tab, keep scrap paper for comparing addresses, and read each section brief in full.

After you submit

Where your score arrives, how to check the Pre-Hire List, and why you should keep applying in the meantime.
