The practice exam is designed to give candidates a feeling for the format and style of test questions and the breadth of the subject matter in the test (90 questions that are not broken into smaller stand-alone sections). It is delivered in a similar format to the certification exam. The practice exam does not provide numeric scoring because performance on the practice exam does not guarantee passing results on the certification exam.

Upon completion, you will receive a summary page with feedback and recommendations for further study by topic. Please take note of the summary page, as you will not have repeat access to the results. The recommendations are based on how well candidates perform in each content area of the examination:

• Areas in which candidates perform well receive feedback that some additional review is recommended for continued success;

• Areas in which performance was marginal receive feedback that additional study is needed for moderate improvement; and

• Areas in which performance was weak receive feedback that significant study is needed for considerable improvement.
