What should candidates avoid doing on the test day according to the manual restrictions?

Candidates should avoid using the manual or study notes on test day because doing so would violate the integrity and rules of the testing environment. Such materials are generally not allowed during the exam in order to ensure that all candidates are evaluated based solely on their knowledge and abilities without outside assistance. This restriction helps maintain a fair testing atmosphere where each person's individual performance is accurately assessed.

By enforcing this rule, testing organizations aim to uphold standards that reflect the candidate's true readiness for law enforcement duties, which rely on a combination of knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills learned during training rather than on reference materials during the examination.
