On the day of your PTE Core Exam, you are expected to reach the test centre at least half an hour before your test starts. On arrival, you will be meeting a PTE Test Center Administrator who will take you through the check-in process and would want the following documents to verify your identity:

  • Your national identity proof
  • A recent digital photograph
  • Your digital signature (to be arranged by the test centre)
  • Scanned copy of your palm (to be arranged by the test centre)

After completing the verification process, you will be allotted a safe place to leave your belongings while taking the test. A test centre administrator will then take you to a partitioned booth where you will be assigned a computer, audio headset, notepad and pencil. You will have two hours to complete your PTE Core test starting from the time mentioned in your application form.
