Test on the right side and log in. The first time you begin the test, you will start from the first question
of Section 1. The questions will continue in sequence. You can continue through
the entire bank of questions, stop at the end of a section, or simply stop at
any question. When you log in later to return to the test, you will be taken to the place where you stopped working at your previous session.
Your progress will be saved as you answer each question.

When you are presented with a question, click on the round 'radio' button
alongside the answer that you think is correct. A dot will appear in the
button to show that it is selected. If you change your mind, then simply
click another option. You can only select one answer. When you have decided on your answer, click the "Submit Answer" button. Once you submit
your answer, you cannot go back to change it. Only your first answer will
be recorded. If you wish, you may choose to leave a question unanswered
and return to it later by moving on to the next question.
When you submit an answer, your question will be marked correct or incorrect.
You may reset the exam at any time.

If at any time during the test you wish to view the rationales, simply click on "Review Mode."
