How To Rate The Exam Questions

The following is a typical layout for an Exam Question, please note the areas outlined in RED.
It is very important that you DO NOT click on any of these as it will result in the question being
treated as a fail.

In addition, there is a time limit for answering each set of questions, which is 90 minutes. If you
leave a question open for more than 90 minutes, the question will “Expire” and be treated as a
failed answer.

We strongly recommend that once you open a question, you answer it within 90 mins.

For each page in the exam, you have three options displayed at the bottom of the screen – it is
important you understand what these mean:

Part 1: Theory
The Theoretical Exam consists of 31 Multiple Choice questions with four possible answers, all of
which must be answered. They will appear in sets of 5 questions per page, (marked 1-5), with
one question on the last page.

Each question requires you to select True or False for all four possible answers. Do not leave
any questions blank. Before you start, we recommend you view the Theoretical Tutorial.

Example of a Theory question:

Tips!
• Look at the question and try to figure out which part of the Guidelines it refers to. In
this example it talks about the Fully Meets rating, so the answer is likely to be in Part 3:
Needs Met Rating in the Guidelines.
• There are no trick questions - you can pass the exam by carefully reading the Guidelines
and not rushing.
• Don’t Release or Cancel any questions – this will be treated as a wrong answer!

should read the Page Quality specific section of the General Guidelines, Part 1: Page Quality
