Candidates may not use their own writing materials, nor can they take much with them into their assessment exercises. We will provide the resources you need to take the assessment. You can take the following items into your assessment exercises: medication, lip balm, glasses, breath mints/hard candy, tissue, earplugs. The Program Assistant may ask to see these items before you are permitted to have them in the testing areas. You cannot take purses or bags with you into the assessment exercises; you will be asked to leave them in a secure location in the reception area.
