Entry into the examination room will not be guaranteed if you do not have your candidate number and ID and receipt. (You could consider printing and binding your receipt and your candidate number confirmation email into your bound notes to make sure you don’t forget them.) How does the timing work? On the day, the timing will run as follows. 12.30–12.50pm: Candidates will be processed by invigilation team (notes and reference books checked, candidate numbers and receipts etc. Once you’ve registered you’ll be able to enter the exam room to find a spot and check the equipment (but you won’t be allowed to open up any of the exam documents). 12.50pm: The invigilators will usher everyone into the exam room. 12.55–1.00pm: The invigilators will brief candidates on how the exam will be run and will explain what to do if you need to go to the toilet or if there is an emergency. 1.00–1.10pm: Candidates will read the printed exam instructions. 1.10–1.30pm: Candidates will open and save each of their exam documents and type their candidate numbers in. (This will be facilitated by the lead invigilator.) Candidates will also log into the Macquarie Dictionary Online if they have a subscription. 1.30–2.00pm: Reading time (exam papers). 2.00–5.00pm: Working time. What time should I arrive at the exam centre? Candidates should plan to arrive with enough time to ensure invigilators can check their resources, ID, candidate numbers and receipts. In Melbourne there are usually 30+ candidates, so we suggest you aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the exam room opens (i.e. around 12.15). In Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane there are usually 14–20 candidates per centre, so plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before the exam room opens (i.e. no later than 12.30, but preferably a bit earlier). In Adelaide, Hobart and Perth there are usually fewer than 10 candidates, so we suggest you plan to arrive about 20 minutes before the exam room opens (i.e. no later than 12.30). It is better to be early than be in a rush. Tea and coffee will be available so if you’re early or have spare time you’ll be able to partake of refreshments.
