2. Once you have registered you will be informed of the date of your exam. Upon arrival at the test center you will then need to provide two forms of identification (driving licence, passport etc.)

So be warned that they provide no lee way especially if it is likely to compromise the test. Upon entering the exam room a person is required to sign a log book and although breaks are provided during the exam time the clock does not actually stop whilst a person takes a break. It is only when the exam is finished will you then be required to sign the log book once more.
