Effective November 2, 2026, candidates will be permitted to bring one approved water bottle into Pearson and Pearson authorized test centers.

Candidates may bring one water bottle into the testing room if it meets all of the following requirements: it is fully transparent, colorless plastic; contains water only; holds no more than 750 mL (25 oz); and has a leak-proof, resealable cap with no metal components. Bottles may not be made of glass or metal, and they must not have labels, stickers, sleeves, handwritten markings, electronic components, or accessories.

Any water bottle that does not meet these requirements may not be brought into the testing room and must be stored in a secure area (such as a locker).
