15. Recommended Course of Action • Each chapter study plan includes a pre-test, training module, and post-test. • If the pre-test is passed, you have the option to skip the training module and go straight to the post-test. • If the pre-test is not passed, you must complete the training module before attempting the post-test. • You will have 1 attempt at each of the pre and post-tests. The post-test is the only grade that counts. • If you feel you need additional training at any point (in addition to the module offered in the study plan), please review the “Volume Skill-Based Training”.

16. How to start the test • Click on the drop down button as pointed by the red arrow. • Then click on option “open” to start the simulation test. • The simulation will start in a popup window (or it will open a new tab  see next slide), Make sure no popup blockers are active (and install ActiveX control if prompted to do so).

17. When clicking on any of the chapter study plans, it will take you to a screen that looks like this. Click to start the Pre-Test (or Training or Post-Test) When you click to start either of the tests, a new tab will open up. Click “Continue” on this new tab in order to launch the test in a new window. Each test averages 10-15 questions and must be completed at one time (you cannot quit and come back to finish the specific test at a later point in time).
