System Requirements

A practice test is an informal exam whose aim is to simulate the actual test and prepare you as well as possible for what to expect on the real exam. Typically, MeasureUp practice tests contain approximately 150 questions and cover all exam objective domains. A MeasureUp practice test includes two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • Practice Mode – This gives you the possibility to highly customize your testing environment. You can choose how many questions the assessment should include, the maximum time to finish the test, if you prefer to randomize the question order, and select which questions will be shown in the test.
  • Certification Mode – This simulates the actual testing environment that you will see in the actual certification exam. Here, the test is timed and there is no possibility to see the correct answers and explanation until after the test.
