The exam is given in a small room such as an office. There will be a pitcher of water, drinking cups, a steno pad, pencil, pen, a laptop, earphones/headset, and two digital recorders on a table. The recorders are for recording your exam and will be turned on as you enter the room in order to record the entire test. Other objects that may appear on the table include the proctor’s binder, a stopwatch to time the sight and consecutive portions, and a folder containing one document in the language other than English and one in English used when the sight interpretation section of the exam is administered. You are free to choose to sit or stand while taking the test. The person administering the exam will sit on the opposite side of the table.
