In this episode you will learn: Arrive 30 minutes early with a valid, government-issued photo ID that exactly matches your NCEES registration name. The 6-hour appointment includes a tutorial and a 25-minute scheduled break, with 5 hours and 20 minutes of actual testing time. Rely on your own NCEES-approved physical calculator, as the provided on-screen version is inefficient for exam conditions. The exam clock does not stop for unscheduled breaks, so any time away from your seat is time lost on the exam. Use the 'flag for review' feature to manage your time, ensuring you answer all questions you know before returning to more difficult ones.
