This section covers some simple things you can do the day before and during the exam.

On the day before the exam, do the following things:

  • Call Sylvan Prometrics or whomever is hosting your examination and confirm your seat, the time, and the location of the exam.

  • Ensure that you have the correct directions for the testing center.

  • Have a relaxing evening. Some candidates attempt to cram in too much learning the night before at the cost of a good night's sleep. The examination questions are written by folks who want you to pick the first answer that looks good, so you need to be on your guard mentally.
