WRITTEN TEST ADMINISTRATION
Written Exam Time
90 minutes
Computerized Testing
The written exam is administered on computer. You will need to use a mouse and
basic keyboarding. Exam administrators will give clear instructions and can help if
you have trouble using the computer. During your exam, you will be able to go back
to any question and review and change your answer.
Languages
The written exam is available in English, Korean, Spanish, or Vietnamese. You may
switch between languages anytime during the exam.
All Testing Materials
are Provided
All materials you need to take the written exam are provided to you by the test
administrator at the time of your exam. No other materials or personal belongings
are allowed at the workstation where you take the exam.
TIPS FOR TAKING THE WRITTEN EXAM
Read directions
Avoid careless errors by understanding what you are to do before you start.
Read questions
thoroughly
Read every question carefully before you answer it. The most common reason
people miss questions when they know the material is that they do not read the
questions carefully.
Read all answers
before choosing
Read all answers before making your choice. Even if you come to an answer that
looks good, one of the answers below it may look better.
Answer every
question
You might choose the right answer even if you are not sure. Rule out the answers
you know are wrong and then go ahead and make a choice.
Don’t spend too much
time on one question
If you have a hard time with a question, move on and make a note to come back to
that question later.
Double check answers
If you finish early, use time left to review and check your answers.
