In Peoria, wear quiet shoes to avoid disturbing your fellow candidates when you take a break during the examination. Candidates are not allowed on the examination floor during lunch breaks. Bring several No. 2 lead pencils already sharpened. Mechanical pencils are acceptable, but may not be as reliable. Bring a timepiece, as there will be only one clock near the announcement table that is not visible from most sections.
Water is provided on the examination floor.
No liquids are allowed at the examination tables in any type of container. This is to prevent spillage on your exam papers or on those of the person sitting next to you. No writing is permitted after the end of the session has been announced . Therefore, be sure to move your answers from your question booklet to the optical scan sheet and number your pages before time is called. No additional time will be given for op-scan completion.
