The official notice for each exam is the reference for the list of documents: read all of it before preparing anything.
Documents to prepare now
The official notice lists them, but ID, certified degree copies and a birth certificate come up often, sometimes with a handwritten request. Beware of anyone selling admission: fraud is prosecuted.
