Welcome to the Baton Testing Center Before you begin your exam, let’s address some common questions that may not be covered on the main instruction screen.

Scratch Sheets Scratch sheets are available in the exam proctor’s office. You are allowed one sheet at a time. If both sides of the sheet are filled and you need another, trade in the used sheet for a new one. Be sure to complete the information section at the top of the sheet before turning it in. Code Books for the electrical and building exams are located on the bookcases at the front of the room. These are for testers taking the Electrical and Building exams ONLY and should be returned to the bookcase when done. Pencils for scratch sheets are also on the bookcases. Please return the pencils to their containers or the proctor’s office when you are through with them.

Quiet Please § No talking, whispering or communicating of any kind is permitted in the testing room. § Remember to work quietly.
