Set Yourself Up for Success
Taking a high-stakes test can be nerve-wracking, but with the right preparation, you can walk into test day with confidence. Here are our top tips:
1. Choose Your Space Wisely
Find a quiet, private room where you will not be interrupted. A simple, clean background works best. Ensure good lighting — natural light is ideal, but a lamp placed in front of you works well too.
2. Check Your Equipment
You will need a computer with a working camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. Run our free system check to confirm everything is working before test day.
3. Take the Practice Test
Our free practice test mirrors the real exam format. Taking it will help you understand the question types, timing, and pacing of the adaptive test.
4. Prepare Your ID
Have a valid government-issued photo ID ready. A passport, driver license, or national ID card are all accepted.
5. Review the Rules
Familiarize yourself with test rules: no headphones, no other devices, keep your face visible, and ensure you are alone in the room throughout the test.
