ID checks can take longer depending on many factors, but if it's taking more than 5-10 minutes, try clicking on Need Help on the screen. This will loop in a human proctor. This should help speed up the process.

We understand that sometimes you need to look away from the screen. To meditate, to relax, to formulate. You are welcome to look up above you (e.g., at the ceiling) when you'd like a break. Looking left or right, or between the keyboard and the screen, especially when it's done frequently, with your eyes moving like you are reading something before you get back to the main screen, raises red flags during the test session and in the post-session review. 

If you find a test preparation resource that helps you with presenting your ideas in a way that is organized, developed, and comprehensible, then it will help you be better prepared for CEPT Full Academic. There is nothing unique we expect of your writing. When we look at your overall performance, the main categories we consider are the range of your language use, coherence, and accuracy. As you can see, these are broad language use categories, not a specific organizational pattern.
