Test centre facilities and procedures

The test will be administered under secure test conditions which will be strictly enforced at all times.

You may use the bathroom during the test time, but this will not be permitted in the last ten minutes of the test session. No additional time will be granted for bathroom breaks.

Some test centres can be difficult to heat or cool. To avoid being too cold or too hot, it is recommended to wear layers, which will allow you to adjust to your own comfort level.

This assessment is undertaken in a supervised testing environment. No third party or children are to be present during this assessment unless Support Services at Wodonga TAFE have approved a support person.

If you wish to query a particular test question on the day of the test you should alert the supervisor of your concern. Queries will be reviewed by ACER.

Any queries and concerns relating to the testing venue or physical discomfort suffered should be reported immediately to the test supervisor on the test day. Please also contact ACER by email as soon as practicable after the test day, so the issue can be addressed without delay, and within the test window that you registered for.
