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 contains approximately 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. Each MeasureUp practice test contains two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • Practice Mode provides users with the ability 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.
