System Requirements

A practice test is a realistic exam simulation whose objective is to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test comes with approximately 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. Each MeasureUp practice test contains two specific test-taking modes to get students ready for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • The Practice Mode enables users to highly customize their testing environment. They can determine how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to complete the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
  • Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will interact with when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to view the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

INF-305 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE TEST

Why should you use our INF-305 Software Development Practice Test? 

The MeasureUp INF-305 Software Development practice test is the most realistic simulation of the actual certification exam out there, giving you the perfect opportunity to pass the official INF-305 exam on the first go. With our Test Pass Guarantee, you can be sure of success as we offer all of your money back if you do not pass. The INF-305 practice test has been created by leading experts in software development.

 

How can I use the INF-305 Software Development online Practice Test?  

The INF-305 Software Development practice test can be used in two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode offers you the possibility to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, and Practice mode lets you focus on these areas, allowing you to spend your time wisely. We first recommend you take the INF-305 practice test in Certification mode. By studying the generated report on completing the test, you will get a helpful overview of which areas need further attention. Then, you can take the test in Practice mode to develop those areas further. Once you are confident you have improved your knowledge in these areas, you can re-take the test in Certification mode and when you can pass the practice test twice consecutively with a score of at least 90%, you know you are exam ready! 

 

Will the questions be the same as the actual exam?  

Although the questions will be close to those of the official exam in terms of style, content, level of difficulty, for reasons of copyright they will not be identical. This will enable 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 issues in passing the exam.
