Frequently Asked Question

The online practice test provides candidates with an opportunity to become familiar with the testing experience. The practice test is developed according to the certification examination’s test specifications (content outline).

The purpose of the practice test is to simulate an actual computer based testing experience and not to serve as a study guide nor to be used as a substitute for studying. Candidates are NOT provided with the answer key, rationale for the correct answer, nor notification of which items were answered correctly or incorrectly.

The instant score report after completion of the practice test provides an overall score as well as a score for each content area. The results on the practice test should not be interpreted as a predictor of performance on the actual examination. The scores do not provide a valid or reliable indicator of how you will perform on the actual examination.

The PTC Online Testing System does not demonstrate the testing software used during the certification examinations. The testing platform used during the certification examination will be different. Once the practice test is scored, you cannot return to the test to review the questions.

The completion of the practice test is optional, is not required to sit for the certification examination, and is provided for review purposes only. It does not guarantee a passing score on the examination, nor does it assess your readiness in passing the examination.
