System Requirements
Practice tests are informal tests that simulate the actual exam and aim to prepare users better for what to expect on the real exam. Each MeasureUp practice test contains around 150 questions, which cover the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two specific test-taking modes that 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 real testing environment encountered by users 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.

How to use an online Practice Test?
A MeasureUp Practice Test has two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.
- Practice Mode. This Mode allows users to highly customize their testing environment. They can select how many questions to include in their assessment, the maximum completion time for the test, to have a randomized question order, and how and which questions will be shown in the test.
- Certification Mode. This Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will encounter when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to access the answers and explanations to questions until the test is completed.
Will the questions be the same as in the actual exam?
Although the questions will be very close to those of the official exam in terms of their 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.
