Test day tips

To help you do your best, you need to be prepared, on time and calm on the day of your test.

Arrive on time

Registration at the test centre opens at 7:45am. Check where you need to go and how to get there. Make sure you arrive early so you have enough time to register and relax.

What to bring

On the day, you need to bring your:

• valid, original passport, as used in your application (not a certified copy)
• pencils
• sharpener
• an eraser

You cannot bring these items into the test room:

• coats
• mobile phones
• jackets
• bags

At colder times of the year, dress so you are warm. Jackets with pockets are not allowed in the test room.

Start and finish times

The listening, reading and writing sections of the test will start at 9am. Test times are:

• listening - 30 minutes
• reading - 60 minutes
• writing - 60 minutes.

These three sections are tested in the same session, which will last at least three hours. There is no break between the sections.

The speaking section of the test will be held in Building 73 and will take 11-14 minutes. Your registration email will have details about the day when your speaking test has been scheduled. It will be on a Saturday or Sunday, either before, on, or after your written test day.

Lost property

If the owner of a lost item can be identified, contact is made by telephone or letter, but the onus is on the you to contact the University if you have lost something. Monash University is not liable for loss of, or damage to, the property of students on campus, and private property is not covered by University insurance. Lost property items are normally held for two months. Suitable unclaimed items are donated to appropriate charity organisations.

Lost property can be handed into, and collected from:

• Clayton - Campus centre (building 10), Student Service Centre (items handed into the information desk will be kept for six weeks, and clothing for four weeks)
