Pass your state exam

• Take advantage of the cram courses (Prep Review and Exam Simulator) within your prelicensing course during the waiting period.
  • Prep Review Course: This part of the training features content “boiled down to the essence” of the state exam. Chapters have only a few pages of material, but the content must be mastered to pass. Instructionally designed to teach individuals how to pass, most study effort should be invested here. Chapter exams are substantially larger (50+ questions), providing exposure to the types of questions seen on the state exam.
  • Exam Simulator: These special exams are designed to gauge content retention levels. Important: Only take the Exam Simulators after the Prep Review Course has been successfully completed. It ensures these questions will be “fresh in the mind”.
• On the day of testing, you must have the following items:
  • A valid government issued photo id bearing your signature.
  • Certificate of completion – An electronic version or hard copy will be accepted.
