After scheduling your exam, you will see a countdown for your scheduled exam time

Make sure you take your proctored practice test in the same environment and using the same equipment as you plan for your actual test in order to verify you meet the minimum technical requirements.

Remember that while you may do practice tests as many times as you would like without a proctor, you will have no more than two practice opportunities with a proctor. We recommend you do not schedule your practice proctored practice and actual exam back to back should you encounter any issues with your equipment that need to be addressed before your actual exam. You should successfully complete a proctored practice exam before taking your actual exam.

On the day of your test, click Take my Test. (For a practice test, click Schedule/Take a Proctored Practice)
