Why is it important for candidates to create an account before the PiCAT?

Creating an account before the PiCAT is crucial because it allows candidates to follow specific registration procedures that are essential for administering the test effectively. Having a pre-established account ensures that candidates can securely provide necessary personal information, confirm their identity, and have a structured way to manage their testing process. This registration step facilitates organization and helps ensure that all candidates have completed the required prerequisites before they take the test.

While receiving notifications regarding test dates and preparing documents for enlistment may be important, they are not the primary purpose of account creation. Accessing social media during the test would also diverge from the purpose of establishing an account, which is focused primarily on the testing and registration process.
