- Prepare for the board certification exams
- Assess your staff’s strengths and development opportunities
This exam differs from the real Board Certification exams in a few ways:
- This exam has a 5hrs 45min time limit for BOTH exams together vs. two separate exams, 3hrs 15min for multiple choice and 2 hours for scenario-based
- This exam pulls from a large exam bank versus based on percentage of each domain
- The real multiple choice exam groups domains together
- In the scenario-based section of this exam, questions and scenarios are pulled randomly, in order to expose you to the most scenarios possible. On the real exam, you will see a scenario, and then answer 3-4 questions about that scenario together, with a bit less reading since the set stay together, but they can cover multiple domains
