I just finished the online application. I read the guide and it said the name on the application must exactly match the names on your IDs on testing day. When I filled out the application, there was only a space for my middle initial. Is there another place I will get to fill out my full middle name (on most of my IDs)? Just want to make sure I didn't screw up somewhere. Thanks!
 
Yeah, no way I could fit my middle name in the little box, don't worry. If they asked for the initial that's all they wanted - they can assume that if on your id you have has a middle name that starts with the same letter, it's the same person. They also fingerprint you and take your picture, so it's not as though middle name identification is their last best hope for test security 😉
 
maybe a stupid question folks, but, do you have to take in anything else (besides IDs) to prove you're taking it?

I mean, anything you've received confirming you're taking it, a printout of your registration, etc.
 
I think you have to bring the printout... I can't quite remember. Also, I'm pretty sure you need two forms of ID. Then they also fingerprint you and take your picture. Check the website to be sure, or just call. Good luck!
