ARDMS offers thirty-question online practice tests through the ARDMS Web site for $25 each. As soon as your credit card payment is approved, you will be prompted to begin and will not be able to pause or stop the online practice test prior to completion.

The online practice test simulates the computer interface used in the actual testing center environment and allows you to become familiar with the following functions that will be used to help you navigate through the actual testing center examination:

• Selecting answers with the mouse
• Selecting answers with the keyboard
• Scrolling
• Keeping track of time remaining and current question number
• Marking questions for review
• Using the review feature

The practice tests duration is thirty (30) minutes, allowing approximately one minute to answer each question.  Please note that the practice tests may not include all content areas that will be covered in the actual testing center examination.

You will receive a test-result report when you complete the online practice examination.  The report will list the number of questions answered correctly out of the total number of questions presented; however, you will not be able to view which questions you answered incorrectly.  While suggestive, the practice tests results should not be used to predict how well you will perform on the actual testing center examination.

Please direct questions or problems with the practice tests to PearsonVUE at (888) 827-5228 or e-mail techassist@pearson.com.
