Our practice exams come in 2 formats ... "Quiz" and "Flash Cards"

In the "Quiz" format, your practice exam is submitted for grading after you have answered all of the questions. After obtaining your results, you can review the quiz in its entirety on a question-by-question basis. The review will display the correct answer for each question as well as your selection.

In the "Flash Cards" format, each question is graded as soon as its submit button is clicked. A pop-up window will show you whether your answer was correct or incorrect and the page number in the manual where the correct answer can be found. After obtaining your final result, you can review the practice exam in its entirety. The review will display the correct answer for each question as well as your selection.

For both formats, questions are randomly selected from a database of questions and are not repeated within a quiz or set of flash cards. The number of questions in a quiz or set of flash cards is noted beside the chapter name. You can exit a quiz/set of flash cards at any time by closing the window in which it appears.
