Good question, I've never tried to do one of the CBTs on the surface. They do have some computers that you can use in the break room. There are two shuttles in the morning from the hotel, so if you take the early one then you can get some extra time to do the CBTs if you decide to leave your laptop at home.

Bring it for sure if you have one. I wouldn't go out and buy one though.

I already have one fortunately so that's one less thing to worry about. While I'm asking the newb questions here is another. I know it's business casual for training but do most stick with button down dress shirts or are tame polo shirts allowed as well?

Polos are acceptable too and easier to keep neat in my opinion. I used my laptop in initial and upgrade for typing up notes, you'll def find a lot of study guides floating around too

The Surface is issued during the first couple days of training. Honestly though you may want to consider getting those CBTs done before you arrive.
