Food and drink in the testing room

Food

Candidates must have an approved accommodation to take food into the testing room. If candidates have a Separate Room and Snacks accommodation, they must either test in a separate room or be the only one taking an exam in the testing room.

Candidates approved for snacks must follow these rules:

Snacks must be unwrapped and in a small, clear plastic bag. Exam must be delivered in a separate room
Candidates may not eat or drink over or near the computer equipment. Instruct them to move their chair back or move the keyboard away while eating. Candidates are responsible for any damage to the testing room equipment.

Drink

Candidates can bring one water bottle containing only plain water into the testing room without an accommodation. For detailed water bottle requirements, see Water bottles.

If candidates want to bring any beverage other than plain water into the testing room, they must request an accommodation prior to scheduling their exam. Beverages allowed as an accommodation must be in a transparent, plastic, spill-proof bottle.
