Most candidates need ID with a photo, their test-day confirmation and the PPE they'd wear on any Benton County site: hard hat, protective-toe boots, a bright vest and safety eyewear. Sites differ, so double-check what yours expects.
Arrive early enough to check in, listen to the briefing and look over the course. Your confirmation will list the report time.
