Scheduling my (TalentLens) TalentLens Practice Tests exam this week and trying to figure out what to actually bring vs what I'll be given.
Questions I have:
1. Do they provide scratch paper or is it on-screen only?
2. Are you allowed any breaks? The exam is 3 hours and I'm a slow reader
3. How strict is check-in? How early should I arrive?
4. Is a calculator provided or allowed?
I've been focused on studying "TalentLens" content but I realize I don't actually know what the test day experience is like. The official website is vague.
For those who took it recently — any surprises on exam day that you wish someone had warned you about? And did the difficulty feel similar to the practice tests or completely different?
Quick data point: I spent 6 weeks studying, 1-3 hours a day, and passed with a 83%.
The section on TalentLens exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.
What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.
