Questions before your exam
I'm really nervous. Will that make me fail?
Almost everyone is nervous, and that's expected. Nervousness alone doesn't cause a failed result. You'll know every question before testing begins, so there are no surprises.
How long does an exam take?
Plan for 1½ to 3 hours. Every exam includes a thorough pre-test interview, and the length depends on what needs to be discussed. Please don't schedule anything tight afterward.
What should I bring?
Nothing is required. If you have a photo ID, please bring it. You're also welcome to bring a non-alcoholic drink for the pre-test interview.
Can you guarantee the results?
No examiner can ethically guarantee an outcome. What we guarantee is a fair, standardized process, conducted the same way for every examinee.
