Hi! How long does it take?
Can our exam centres know how long each candidate has taken time to finish the exam?
Do we have anywhere where they can check it later?
Is there an updated guide with a tutorial of the candidate experience? I got some clients which process starts (with the first option) entering the entry code. And it seems the steps are not the same in that case.
i want to sit for the CEPT test..how to proceed
