System Requirements
A practice test is an informal exam that simulates the real test and enhances your preparation in terms of what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test contains around 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two specific test modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.
- The Practice Mode permits learners to highly customize their testing environment. They may select how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum test completion time, the possibility to randomize the question order, and how and which questions will be shown in the test.
- The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will encounter when taking their certification exam. They are timed assessments and do not allow users to request the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

How can I use the MB-260 Practice Test?
You can use the MB-260 practice test in either certification or practice mode. Practice mode gives you the ability to evaluate your knowledge and discover your weaker areas, and the second allows you to focus on these areas, thereby making sure you spend your time effectively. First, we recommend you take the MB-260 practice test in certification mode. By analyzing the generated report on completing the test, you will get a helpful breakdown of which areas require further attention. You should then take the test in practice mode in order to develop those areas. Once you are confident you have improved your knowledge in these areas, you can re-take the test in certification mode and, on passing twice in a row with a score of 90%, you know you are exam ready!
Will the questions be the same as the actual exam?
Although the questions will emulate the official exam’s questions in terms of style, content, level of difficulty, for reasons of copyright they will not be identical. This will allow you to fully understand the content you are studying so that, no matter how the questions are focused, you can be confident you are covering the same material and that you will have no problem in passing the exam.
