Registration
How do I register for a Pearson exam?
Official exam entries are made through Pearson and authorised examination centres (or school centres). We help students prepare academically and can guide you on typical next steps, but final registration is with Pearson/the centre.
Can you enter me for exams as a private candidate?
No. We do not act as a Pearson examination centre. Private candidates normally register through centres such as the British Council or other Pearson-authorised centres that accept private entries in their country.
Where do I find official exam centres?
Use Pearson’s official find-a-centre tools on qualifications.pearson.com, and check your local British Council school-exams pages for private-candidate windows. Always confirm subjects and deadlines with the centre you choose.
Exam day
What should I bring on exam day?
Typically: valid photo ID accepted by the centre, your statement of entry if issued, and only approved stationery. Leave phones and notes outside. Follow your centre’s candidate instructions exactly.
Do you run the exam hall?
No. Exam halls are run by authorised centres. Our role is academic preparation before exam day.
