Taking the practice test

You will have 120 days to access your practice test, beginning on the date of activation.

Each practice test includes field-specific directions similar to those that will be presented in the actual test. Practice test questions may include graphics, audio materials, and writing assignments, as appropriate.

While you are testing, you may pause the test and return to it later if you wish; you do not have to finish the test in a single session.

Your practice test can be submitted for scoring only once, but it will be available for your review until the end of your subscription period (120 days). After you submit your practice test for scoring, you will receive immediate results showing your objective-level performance on multiple-choice questions. You may also review the correct responses along with an explanation of why the response is correct.

Practice tests with written assignment(s) include a sample response to the assignment. You can compare your response to the sample response to gauge your performance.
