Exam day at a Prometric centre: what happens step by step
From arriving at the centre to seeing your score: identity checks, lockers, the instruction screens and exam timing.
Arrive at the centre early enough to complete identity verification. Bring a valid passport and your booking confirmation.
Personal belongings and phones go into a locker before you enter the exam room; nothing may be taken in beyond what the centre allows.
The session opens with instruction screens that are not counted against your exam time. They explain how to move between questions, flag a question for review and end the exam. Once you confirm the start, the timer runs without pause.
During the exam you always see the current question number out of the total, the remaining time, and a navigator that jumps to any question. Review your flagged questions before the final submission.
The platform's mock exam follows the same sequence: separate instruction screens with their own timer, then an exam screen with a question navigator and filters for answered, unanswered and flagged questions — so the experience is already familiar on the day.
