⏰ How Early Should I Arrive on Exam Day?

FINRA Exam Day Arrival Guidelines and What to Expect

Arriving on time—and well-prepared—can set the tone for a successful FINRA exam experience. Whether you’re taking the Series 6, 7, 63, 65, 66, or any other qualification exam, here’s how early you should arrive and why it matters.

🕐 Recommended Arrival Time

• Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time

This allows enough time for:

• Check-in procedures (ID verification, photos, signatures)
• Security screenings (pocket checks, locker use)
• Orientation to the testing environment

📋 What Happens If You’re Late?

• Arriving late may result in being denied entry
• No-shows or late arrivals often require re-registering and paying the full exam fee again
• Prometric staff are not authorized to delay or reschedule exams once your appointment window begins

🧾 What You Need to Bring

• A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (e.g., passport or driver’s license)
• Your name on the ID must match your exam registration exactly
• You do not need to bring a calculator or notes—these are provided or restricted

🚀 Pro Tips

• Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes early if your testing center is in a high-traffic area
• Check parking or public transportation logistics ahead of time
• Bring only essential items—lockers are provided, but space is limited

🎯 Final Reminder

Don’t let timing sabotage your exam day. Aim to arrive early, stay calm, and walk in focused.
