What is a Practice Test?

A practice test is an informal exam that simulates the actual test and aims to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A practice test contains approximately 150 questions, covering the exam objective domains.

There are two ways of launching a practice test:

• Practice Mode: Explanations and references to each question are provided to add extended information and increase understanding of the topic.
• Certification Mode: This timed mode with no explanations mimics the actual exam experience, providing a barometer of the learner’s preparedness for the actual exam.
