Preparing for a certification exam takes more than reviewing course material. You need to know what to expect on exam day, understand how you’ll be tested, and have a clear picture of where your knowledge and skills stand.

That’s why we're excited to introduce two new practice exams, Administrator Certification Practice Exam and Engineer Certification Practice Exam — designed to help you prepare for both the administrator and engineer certifications and go into exam day with confidence.

An exam without the pressure

Whether you’re working towards your administrator or engineer certification, you can now get clearer picture of where you are today and what you can do to be ready when it counts.

With three months of access, our new practice exams give you the tools to:

  • Understand the exam format: Watch an on-demand overview of the Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) format, so you know what to expect before exam day.
  • Test your readiness: Take a non-proctored practice exam with up to three attempts to experience exam-style questions.
  • Identify focus areas: Use your score report to understand your strengths and identify where additional hands-on practice could benefit.

What to expect

Each practice exam starts with an overview video explaining the DOMC format. You'll get familiar with how questions are presented and how you’ll interact with them before sitting for the certification exam.

Test your readiness

Once you know what to expect, it’s time to see how your knowledge measures up.

Each practice exam includes three practice exam attempts, giving you multiple opportunities to assess your readiness before exam day.

Find your areas of opportunity

After each practice exam attempt, your score report can help you identify:

  • Where you’re strong and can continue building with confidence
  • Knowledge gaps that may require additional study or review
  • Areas where more hands-on practice could strengthen your skills
  • Topics to prioritize as you build your preparation plan

With these insights, you can prepare with confidence. Use your results to create a preparation plan that reflects your knowledge, skills, and areas of opportunity.
