Step 2: Booking a test and paying

Once you have your web account username and password, you can proceed to book a test sitting.  Payment must be made at the same time as booking a test sitting.  You cannot book first and pay later.  So be sure that you know how you are going to pay before you start making your test booking.  Enter your username and password and click the 'Sign-in' button.  There is also an option to retrieve lost or forgotten usernames and passwords.

Once you are logged in, you will be brought to the main booking interface or the ‘Current Activity’ screen.  The navigation menu on the top left of the screen allows you to choose from various tasks that you might want to perform using this interface such as updating your profile or changing your password.

In this part of our guided tour, we are concerned exclusively with booking a test sitting.  To do this, you must select 'Schedule Exams' on the interface's navigation menu.  Booking a test involves seven stages:

Exam > Test centre > Appointment > Review >
Payment > Confirmation > Receipt


During the booking process, these seven stages are always listed across the top of the page.  The stage that you have reached in the booking process is shown in bold.  The steps that you have already completed appear as links so that you can backtrack if necessary.  Until you reach the 'Confirmation' stage, backtracking is fine.
