Hi I just purchased the testing material. I already feel nervous and I haven’t even started yet. I had a few questions. I read a few of the threads and I am a little confused on some things.

1. People are saying to print out the test, but exactly which file am I supposed to print out? The one stated under the materials tab stated “Final Exam” (or is this just practice???) or Do I click on the tab “Take Exam” to receive the questions to print out? Sorry I am afraid of clicking the wrong one!

2. Also when we start the test, I read in some of these threads that people have spread out the test over a few days. Is there a pause button or something? I want to be able to recheck my answers prior to submitting them and also I feel like this might take me longer than a day to complete.

I want to apologize in advance if my questions fall in the “dumb question” category. I am just another person suffering from the stress of these exams

1. Materials -> Final Exam – that's where you have all 50 MCQs you'll need to take the test.

2. Not sure about this one. I submitted my answers right away. The exam questions will be EXACTLY the same as the ones in your “Final Exam”, HOWEVER, they will be in a different order, that's why you need to print them out (or copy/paste in Excel), to be able to find your answers when you are taking the actual exam.

My advice – take some time finding the right answers and right down the chapter & page number next to it. The more time you spend before taking the exam, the more chances you have of getting all of them right….but you have 3 attempts and then 3 more (free) so don't panic!

Good luck!

Wow what a bummer, they mix up the questions now? When I took it, the test page that I printed out was in the exact same order as the final test that I took online.

If they are the same questions, but mixed up, sounds like you still go down your paper list but ctrl+f the question in the jumbled list. In other words, exam difficulty hasn't changed, it just got more annoying (didn't think that was possible)!

Yeah that does sound very annoying, sounds like just one more thing to get tripped up on.

After we pass the ethics exam, what do we do next in regards to filling out papers or receiving things in the mail? I have not completed my work experience yet. I only have about 3 months of experience
