Testing Instructions

•   Diagnostics report

•   Navigation buttons

Each test allows 3 full completions, which means you can complete the test and submit your answers 3 separate times to receive 3 separate Diagnostics Reports.  Each of these 3 test submissions can be completed over 1-3 sessions.  Term “session” means opening the test and closing it with the Stop button to save your answers.  At any time you start the test again, your test resumes where you stopped.   On the third session, after exiting your test two times, you must submit your answers if you wish to receive your results: percent correct and Diagnostics Report. 

After you submit your answers, you will receive a Diagnostics Report where you can review your test and all the questions, see the correct answers with detailed explanations (where provided) and analyze your performance statistics.  The Diagnostics Report will show the difficulty level of each question, topics tested, how you answered each question, and how well you did in each topic (applicable to mixed topic tests).

You can re-take each test two more times, but only after you complete or terminate the previous test attempt.  You can have several different tests in progress at any time, but you must work with them one at a time - only one testing window can be open during the session.

Viewing and understanding your Diagnostics Report

Submit your answers by pressing the button End.  Your results will be processed and analyzed and you will see a summary overview on the My Account page.  You can review each test submission in detail up to 3 times.  The Diagnostics Report is a detailed overview of your performance on the test and your individualized statistics.  The Diagnostics Report includes Overall Diagnostics with your test results, time used to complete the test, number and percent of correct answers, questions you marked for review and how many of them were answered correctly.   You can review the individual questions, your answers, the correct answers and read detailed explanations (where provided).  You can review all the questions, all incorrectly answered questions, all questions you marked and sort questions based on their difficulty level.

Detailed Analysis tables display the statistics similar to Overall Diagnostics, but in addition, questions will be separated by topics (applicable only to mixed topic tests).   Detailed Analysis reports allow you to determine which topics your are strongest at and which topics you should spend more time reviewing.  This level of analysis is applicable to mixed topic diagnostic tests, since all the questions in Topical Tests cover only one topic.

The Diagnostics Report is available for each completed test attempt.  If you submitted three complete attempts of one test, you will have three separate Diagnostics Reports.  This proprietary feature enables you to monitor your progress of learning.
