Exam centres
Ensure that you check the location of your exam centre and how to reach it before the day of your exam. This information will be in your exam admittance information. These are posted approximately three weeks before your exam.
You will be allocated to the exam centre nearest to the home address we currently have listed for you.
If your exam is in a centre you have not used before, we recommend you familiarise yourself with how to get there and how long it will take before exam day. This will avoid unnecessary stress on the day of your exam.
