How you should look in the photograph
This examination hasn’t published rules about spectacles, headwear or expression, or we haven’t found them. We haven’t invented any.
Where these rules came from
We found this exam's published instructions, but they leave some values unstated. Those are marked as our estimates.
est. marks a figure this exam has not published, where we chose a sensible value. There is 1 on this page. Your file is prepared to it, and the report we give you names every one.
Report an issue Tell us and we will re-check it against the notification. Rules change between cycles, and we would rather hear it from you than have you find out at the portal.
