Trust comes from clear boundaries
Route first. No invented facts. Identify the receiving organisation, then verify changing requirements with its official source before choosing an exam. When a stable source is missing, use the verification task provided. Governments, institutions, exam owners, and authorised centres remain the final source for requirements, acceptance, fees, dates, and individual outcomes.
