Before you start

As on the real exam, you answer one item at a time and cannot go back. The clock keeps running in background tabs and reloads; when time runs out, your answers are submitted.
Three case studies appear during the exam, six items each, with the client’s chart tabs beside every item. New information is added as the case unfolds.
Select-all-that-apply items earn +1 for each correct option and −1 for each incorrect option, never below zero. Multiple-choice items are scored 0 or 1.
The real exam is adaptive and runs from 85 to 150 items in five hours; this sitting is the minimum length at the real exam’s pace of two minutes per item.
