How do we identify the candidates?

A list of the scheduled candidates has been sent to NHC. Candidates on the schedule/list should present a photo ID showing the names as recorded on the schedule/list.

What should I do if the candidate has no photo ID?

A note should be made of the candidate and a report will be made to the client. The candidate should still proceed to sit the test.

What happens if a candidates biometric details are not taken?

The system is built such that capturing the details of the candidate is a prerequisite for the test. The candidate will not be able to assess the questions if the biometric details are not taken.

What is their ID and Password?

The ID and Password is the only way the Examination software recognises a candidate. They will be required to log into the examination system at the Centre using their ID and password. The examination questions, scores and results are all tied to the ID and Password.

What if the candidate has forgotten his ID and Password?

All candidates have been sent their IDs by sms and email. All passwords are the same chevron. User Ids have been sent to NHC as part of the schedule.

Must the candidates all commence at the same time?

There is no requirement for them to start at the same time. Each candidate is timed by the system independently of the others.

How do we treat late comers?

Late comers should be allowed to proceed with the tests.

How do we treat those who have come earlier than their time?
As long as there is a spare system (computer) in place, please allow the candidate in to take the test. We do not have to be strict with the sessions. The sessions are designed more for logistics and order. Anyone who turns up should be allowed to commence the tests.

The test has three sections: Verbal, Numerical, Abstract (not stated in order). The sections are all timed independently of one another. They also are allowed practice time before each section.

How do candidates end the test?

When they have answered and reviewed all of the questions, they may click the END button. Another dialogue box will ask them to confirm that they are ready to end the test. Once they confirm that they want to end, the test will close and they will not be able to gain entry. This sequence will occur at the end of each section of the test.
