Tips for the day
- Arrive rested and on time, and bring any glasses or contact lenses you normally wear.
- Ask in advance whether you need to fast for blood tests.
- Answer medical-history questions honestly and completely; examiners can often find a way forward when they have the full picture.
- Ask the examiner to explain any limitation or restriction written on your certificate.
