If you forget to bring it, ask the exam proctor in advance.

Note that pens are not allowed.

 

Another essential item is your passport. Make sure the passport you used to register is valid on the test date.

A passport copy, national ID card, or driver’s license will not be accepted. Be sure to check the validity of your passport in advance.
