EXAM DAY CHECKLIST

No hype. No fluff. Just everything you need to not blow it.

WHAT TO BRING TO THE TEST CENTER

  • Two forms of ID. One must be government-issued with a photo and signature. No ID match = no test.
  • Only the approved books. No loose sheets. No hacks. Tabs and highlights are fine if allowed.
  • A basic calculator. Dumb is good. If it connects to the internet, it's not coming in.
  • Layer up. Testing centers love to freeze you out. Bring a jacket.
  • No tech allowed. Phones, smartwatches, earbuds — all locked away until you're done.

NIGHT-BEFORE PREP

  • Know where you're going. Look it up. Drive it if you have to. GPS failure = you fail.
  • Pack your gear early. Do it the night before. No last-minute panic.
  • Sleep like a pro. 7+ hours. No cramming, no caffeine marathons.
  • Eat like a human. No gas station junk. Oatmeal > Red Bull.

MORNING-OF GAMEPLAN

  • Arrive 30 minutes early. Walk in late and you're locked out. Period.
  • Bathroom before check-in. You won't get another chance until break.
  • No distractions. Don't bring the drama. This is a mission, not a meet-up.

INSIDE THE TEST CENTER

  • Security is tight. Palm scan, photo, signature. Just roll with it.
  • Use your books. This is an open-book test. Tabbed = faster = smarter.
  • Watch the time. Don't get stuck. Flag tough ones. Come back later.
  • Stay calm. You prepped. You're ready. Don't let one question shake you.

AFTER THE TEST

  • Check your score. Most give instant results. Screenshot it if you pass.
  • Passed with an 80% or higher? Per our Terms of Service, complete 100% of all practice modules and exams, then send proof and PrepBoss will send you a $25 Amazon gift card.
  • Didn't pass? Reset, rework your weak spots, and get back in the fight. Nobody's judging.
PrepBoss built this checklist for real test-takers. No corporate BS. Just what works.
