What materials should I bring with me to my exam?
You must bring your scheduling permit and a signed, unexpired driver's license or passport. 

How early should I arrive for the exam?
You should arrive at 7 a.m.

Am I able to leave early if I finish the exam before the scheduled time?
Yes, after you receive documentation of completion.

Do I have to pay for parking?
