What to bring to the WORD exam: a checklist for exam day

Exam day is often more stressful than the driving itself, and most problems can be eliminated with a simple preparation list. Save it and tick items off the evening before your slot.

Documents and formalities

• a valid photo ID — passport or ID card (without it the exam is forfeited)
• payment confirmation — useful if anything is unclear in the system
• glasses or contact lenses if they are noted as a restriction in your PKK
• 17-year-olds: sort the supervisor's consent and details beforehand, not on exam day

Clothing and equipment

• flat, thin-soled shoes — you feel the pedals like during lessons
• comfortable clothes you practised in — exam day is not for experiments
• phone and smartwatch stay in a locker — using one means disqualification
• water and a light snack, especially for afternoon slots

Day logistics

• arrive 15–20 minutes early — registration and identity checks take a moment
• check the route the day before: Bemowo (Powstańców Śląskich 127A) and Odlewnicza 8 are on opposite ends of the city
• pick a slot early in the day — the last hours can feel rushed
• sleep properly; tiredness costs more errors than one skipped lesson

At the theory exam

• read every question to the end — you have a full 50 seconds on specialist questions
• answers cannot be changed, so do not click under pressure
• you get the result immediately after the test

At the practical exam

• rehearse the bonnet check and cockpit setup in your head
• when reversing, turn and look through the rear window
• didn't understand an instruction? Ask for a repeat — it is not an error
• one mistake is not the end of the exam — keep driving calmly

Warm up before the slot

Many of our students book 1–2 refresher hours a few days before the exam — on the route, in the car they will test in. Book practice (180 PLN/h) or the exam-day car (290 PLN) through the contact form.
