System Requirements

A practice test is an informal exam that simulates the actual test and is designed to prepare you fully for what to expect on the official exam. A MeasureUp practice test comes with around 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two separate test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • The Practice Mode allows students 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, and they have the possibility to randomize the question order and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
  • The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will be encountered with when taking a certification exam. This mode is timed and does not allow users to request the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

How to use an online Practice Test?

In a Practice Test there are two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • 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.

Will the questions be the same as the actual exam?

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.

 

SC-200 CERTIFICATION EXAM

After looking at all the questions available in the test, checking the correct answers, reviewing the explanations regarding all the different answer options, and consulting the carefully chosen references, it is now time to use the test’s Certification Mode. This is the closest experience you’ll get to the real exam. And when you pass the Certification Mode twice consecutively with a score of 90% or more, you know you are… Exam ready!

 

What characteristics does the SC-200 exam have?

  • Question number: 45-50 questions

A passing score is based on the knowledge and skills needed to demonstrate competence as well as the difficulty of the questions.
