Practice Exams

All sub-sections end with a fun interactive knowledge vial quizzing tool.  Each major section employs a section test (scores of section tests are used to award ‘Blue Ribbons’ required for Pass Assured’s Guarantee Option).  An integral testing module, automatically generates tests from a master test question database.  Our Practice Pre-Tests are used as a testing training tool.  The student is offered audible, visual, and text feedback for each answer selected.  Pass Assured's Practice Exam mimics the PTCB Exam, with no feedback offered, and a test timer that halts the exam when the 3- hour time limit expires.  Pass Assured’ Blue Ribbon exam opens the door for the student Guarantee Option.  Successful completion of this exam is the initial component the student will need to activate a Guarantee Payment (if required).  


 

Sub-Section Review Quiz 

A review quiz, in the form of a fun, interactive 'Knowledge Vial' puzzle is given at the end of each sub-section.  This brief quiz emphasizes important topics.   The 'Knowledge Vial' puzzles are a fun exercise in rewarding the student for completion of a particular sub-section. 

Section Tests 

In the section popup window, the Take Test and View Result icons are displayed.  Each section contains automatically generated section test.  The questions of the section test are referencing the particular section only.  When a new section test is requested, a new question set will be re-generated from a ‘master test question’ data bank, which contains over 1000 question sets.  Each section test generated will provide different question and/or in different order.  In order to be awarded a Blue Ribbon for that particular section, the student must score 75% or higher on one of the last eight section test attempts.  The ‘Blue Ribbon’ is needed to activate PassAssured’s Guarantee Option.

Tools are provided to assist the student while taking exams.  A Real Time Scoring Thermometer is displayed on the right side of the screen.  The ‘Real Time’ scoring thermometer monitors the students score in 'real time' based on the number of questions attempted.  The yellow progress bar provides a 'quick glance' indication of the percent complete the student has achieved.  The question count indicator provides the student an accurate indication of the total number of questions, and the number attempted.  The feedback panel gives the student visual and audible indications, alerting he or she when the answer is correct or incorrect.  Plus, the text feedback enables an enhanced learning environment for the student.  Calculation question feedback is in graphical form, providing an example of how the particular answer was calculated.

 Practice Pre Test

The Practice Pre Test is a timed indicated test, with feedback to enhance the student learning exercise.  The test timers are halted when a feedback screen is displayed.  When the three hour time limit has expired, a warning will appear, indicating to the student that the three hour time limit has been reached.  However, the Practice Pre Test will allow the student to complete the test.  Each question provides full feedback, an audio tone, a visual 'STOP Light', and full text feedback.  If an answer to a question is correctly selected, feedback is given supporting the correct answer.  If an incorrect answer is selected, feedback is given offering the student additional information to formulate the correct answer.

Practice Exam

The Practice Exam is designed to mimic the PTCB exam.  Aspects of an actual exam setting are applied.  The Practice Exam offers the student no feedback.  When a possible answer is selected, a checkmark indicates the selected answer, then the next question is displayed.  The ‘Real Time” scoring thermometer is not indicated.  The timer will run for three hours, then terminate the exam.  The score will be based on the number of questions answered correctly, verses the total number of questions (125).  The student is not allowed to quit and resume a Practice Exam.  If the student has to quit a Practice Exam before complete or the time limit has expired, all answers will be erased and the score will not be recorded.  Please allow adequate time for Practice Exams. 

Guarantee or ‘Blue Ribbon’ Exam

The Guarantee Test or ‘Blue Ribbon’ Exam, provides the student a means of activating PassAssured’s Guarantee option.  In order to activate the ‘Blue Ribbon’ exam, the student must score 75% or higher on all six section tests.  The ‘Blue Ribbon’ system will monitor the last eight scores of each section test for a 75% or higher score.  Once the level is achieved, a ‘Blue Ribbon’ will be awarded and indicated next to the particular section.  Once all six sections have a ‘Blue Ribbon’ awarded, the Guarantee Test or ‘Blue Ribbon’ Test will activate.  If during a students review, the highest of the last eight section test scores drops below 75%, the Guarantee or ‘Blue Ribbon’ test option will deactivate.   And will only become available when all six section are indicating a ‘Blue Ribbon’.  Once a student has scored above 75% on a Guarantee or ‘Blue Ribbon’ exam, an option to print out or email the ‘Guarantee or ‘Blue Ribbon’ test results will become available.  This process is a vital component of activating PassAssured’s Guarantee Option.|
