Exam countdown

Set the countdown date

Use the provider's confirmed date, time and time zone. Registration and check-in can close before the exam starts. Keep those as separate tasks or reminders. Do not treat a personal countdown as proof that the provider's schedule has not changed.

Preparation checklist

Choose the tasks you need and add anything specific to your plans.

• Confirm the exam booking and current provider instructions.
• Check identification and permitted-material requirements.
• Plan travel or test the required online exam setup.
• Break remaining revision into named topics or practice tasks.
• Check when registration or check-in closes.
• Keep the official booking channel available for schedule updates.

Confirm the official exam start

Verify the start time against the provider again before exam day. Use a separate alarm and the provider's official reminders for attendance. Daymark helps you see the approaching date, but it cannot guarantee exam access, notification delivery or a result.

Work backward from the official start

Set the exam's confirmed date, time and zone. Use the milestone tool to inspect preparation dates before it. Add your chosen tasks to the countdown's planning pack. A milestone is a planning suggestion, not an exam board's submission rule.

Prepare the access check before exam day

For an online exam, keep the login and equipment checks separate from study topics. For an in-person exam, confirm the assigned room and arrival instructions. Daymark does not verify registration, provide study content or guarantee a reminder arrives. Keep the exam provider's instructions available.
