Resources and FAQs

Which assessments will I take in the course?
You will undergo pre-diagnostic and post-diagnostic assessments within the test preparation course. The pre-diagnostic assessment determines your pathway through a knowledge check that includes the same number of multiple-choice and constructed response questions on the licensure exam. The post-diagnostic assessment serves as a prerequisite for the final benchmark.
Will I need to create a study plan?
We offer customized study plans based on the first diagnostic assessment that you will take in the test preparation course. After the diagnostic assessment is completed, you will be able to view and export your report, which will become your study guide. You may find that you have already mastered several content areas, so you will want to shift your focus to those areas that you have not yet mastered to prepare for your certification exam.
