The Prep-to-Pass program includes a comprehensive study guide. Once students thoroughly study the book, they can test their knowledge by completing assessment exams provided in their Student Portal. After logging in and accessing the course, they will have access to five of these exams:
If a student logs out before completing the assessment exam, answers will not be saved, and the student will need to start over with the exam. It is best to do these assessment exams once a student has thoroughly read through the study guide and is prepared to finish all questions. If the student is inactive for 20 minutes or more in the online exam, they will be timed out. After 20 minutes, if the student attempts to proceed with the exam, they will get sent to an Error 500 page as soon as they click on any button in the exam. If this timeout occurs, the answers will not be saved, and the student will need to start over with the exam.
The first one will be available to take by clicking “Take Exam” to start the assessment exam.
A pop-up notification will inform the student of some important information regarding the assessment exam and questions:

This will allow the student to review the submitted assessment exam. Once they are done reviewing the exam, they can access their Score Report from the Student Portal:
This score report will provide the student with the number of questions missed in each book section, separated by topic. To best prepare for the national exam, it would be best to review the area in the study guide where questions were incorrect.
Clicking Score Report will show the following:
Note: The score report and review exam will be tied to the initially submitted assessment exam. If a student attempts the exam again by clicking “Practice Exam,” the exam result will not update.
