A practice test is an informal exam that simulates the actual test and aims to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A practice test contains approximately 150 questions, covering the exam objective domains.

There are two ways of launching a practice test:

1. - Practice Mode: Explanations and references to each question are provided to add extended information and increase understanding of the topic.
2. - Certification Mode: Mimics the actual exam experience, providing a barometer of the learner’s preparedness for the actual exam.

The CertPREP instructor-led training solution is turnkey courseware that allows instructors and students to ‘hit the ground running’ in class.

Instructors have access to all training materials in one place. Whether in person or virtual, the CertPREP instructor-led solution allows for interactive activities, personalized feedback, Q&A and flexibility that suits learner needs in real-time. Instructor-led training includes access to instructor PowerPoint decks, live labs, practice tests, videos and books.

The CertPREP self-paced learning solution allows individuals to learn at their own pace. Learners choose when and where they complete their lessons, focusing on challenging areas and brushing up on things they already know. Self-paced learning includes access to live labs, practice tests, videos, and books.

Not every course requires a lab. If it is appropriate, a lab is included. For example, Cisco titles are likely to include a simulator as opposed to a lab.

Your Primary courses will appear on your dashboard once you have logged in. You may create classes from that Primary course and enroll students. If you are an instructor, you may also teach from that account. If you need to add instructors that are not administrators to an existing class, you need to contact Pearson VUE for assistance.

The courses to which you are assigned will appear in your dashboard. Open any title to access the content, gradebook, and other features. Once classes have ended, you may choose to unenroll yourself from that course, reducing clutter in your dashboard.

With the assistance of the Pearson VUE team, you may add as many staff to a class as you deem necessary.

CCX Coaches are Administrators. They have access to Primary Courses, can create classes from those Primary Courses, and may access any Primary Course and class in the account. Staff access is restricted to the classes to which they are assigned.

Contact your sales representative to purchase additional seats. Those seats will be added to your account at the conclusion of the sales transaction.

After you access your license, follow the steps in the Quick Start guide to create a class. Once that step is complete, contact Pearson VUE with your class name and the email address of the staff member. The Product Team will add the staff to the course.

For instructor-led titles, your CertPREP account is set up and populated for you. The classes you purchase are added by Pearson VUE staff.

Once you have accessed the content, you will land on the Course tab. Scroll down to near the bottom of the content to find ‘Practice Exam’. Click the checkbox next to ‘Practice Exam’ to reveal the link to the practice test. Click that link and follow the instructions provided on the screen to set up your practice test session.

Once you launch the practice test, you may set up your practice test session. All necessary instructions are provided on-screen in a simple format, allowing you to customize your session. Everything you need to use the practice test is provided in the interface.

Navigation on the CertPREP platform is not unlike navigating any other website. Primary navigation is located immediately below the teal bar at the top of the screen. Navigation for the Content page and the actual content is placed prominently in the window, allowing for intuitive use of the controls.

Please contact your CertPREP sales representative. They will connect you with the appropriate resources at Pearson VUE.

Students already working in the existing content can complete their course without interruption. New classes will use the latest version once the new course has been added. Once the existing course is retired, any seats held in inventory may be used for the new version of the title.

Absolutely. Contact your sales representative or CertPREP Support with the pertinent information to get seats moved to a new title.

A student may be unenrolled at any point. However, if the student has not accessed the class, the seat will be returned to your license. If the student has accessed the course, the seat is consumed and cannot be reused for another student.

Please contact your sales representative or CertPREP support if your seat inventory does not meet your current needs.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the title of a class at this time. If no students are enrolled, go to your Dashboard and find the course in question. Click the gear icon to the right of the 'Resume course' button and select 'Unenroll'. This will remove the course from your dashboard. You are then free to create a new course with the correct name and enroll your learners.
