System Requirements
A practice test simulates the actual test and aims to provide you with the optimal preparation for what to expect on the real exam. MeasureUp practice tests include around 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two possible test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.
- The Practice Mode allows users to highly customize their testing environment. They may select how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to finish the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
- The Certification Mode simulates the official testing environment users will encounter when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to request the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.
