     Written Exams:

This section consists of written examinations. There is a general pool of 780 questions currently. The user has the option to take pre-made test by certifiable, category test and now has the ability to "Create their own" test. Questions are added, edited and deleted in real time, so the Exam section is dynamic.

Study Mode gives you the option to view the answer, if you wish. You may also immediately view the notes pertaining to the question on the screen.

Test Mode will generate a true test, where answers are unavailable. The test is timed, and consists of 125 questions, just like the real thing. In this mode, the computer grades the exam and displays your score. The display gives a percent score for each category. You may then review the questions (Review Screen). The program will display the question, your answer, and the correct answer. You have the ability to go directly to the written notes to review the information pertaining to the question. This allows for rapid correction as well as immediate reinforcement of the study material.

You may select one of 4 pre-made tests (125 questions each) which will consist of mixed questions from all categories or build an Individual category test made up of only questions from a specific category. This is quite useful for concentrated study in weak areas. You may also create your own test.

Note: If a test question is associated with a case presentation and/or picture, the Case and/or Picture button will be present. These test aids are being used extensively now on the written exams. Also because you have multiple methods of taking test and they are all generated from a general pool of questions, you will see repeated questions after using the system for a while.

     Oral Exam:

• This section contains sample oral questions. You are presented with a question sheet and an examiner's information sheet. The examiner's information sheet contains the important points that an examiner will be looking for and the points to pass list. There are eighteen cases that cover past areas of interest by the board.
