An easy-to-understand study manual based on the content outline. In addition, a PDF version of the study manual is included and can be downloaded through our online learning portal. The PDF manual includes suggested study calendars. Your state doesn’t have any specific pre-licensing requirement that must be satisfied in order to sit for the exam. However, we strongly suggest that you utilize each of the tools listed below to adequately prepare for the state examination.

The final examinations and corresponding explanations represent the most important part of your exam preparation. These examinations will assist you in applying the concepts that you learned in the study manual to questions which are posed in the same multiple-choice format used in the actual examination.

Each exam may be taken either with or without the explanations displayed after each question. However, we strongly recommend that you begin by taking each exam with the explanations appearing after your answer is selected. By including the corresponding explanations, you have the ability to reinforce the mindset necessary to getting the right answer. The goal is to fully understand the concepts, rather than to simply memorize answers. Regardless of whether your answer is correct, read the entire explanation. Additionally, you can select “Mark for Review” for any question that you want to see again.

On your homepage, the “My Scores” button will provide you with a snapshot of your progress. This section provides you with your score per attempt as well as the amount of time spent testing. After completing multiple exams, this function will allow you to identify the topics representing strengths and those representing weaknesses. The topic breakdown is based on the chapters in the study manual.

Another important feature is the ability to create “Custom Exams.” The exams may be customized by selecting specific chapters as well the number of questions. This option provides you with the ability to focus on topics that you find the most challenging.
