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 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. This link will take you to the complete content outlines for all examinations, to assist in further preparation and study for the actual testing center examinations: http://www.ardms.org/default.asp?contentID=278.
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.
The practice examination opens in a separate "pop-up" window. If there is any software or program on your computer that blocks "pop-up" windows, you will need to disable it. Some Search Toolbars (i.e. Google or Yahoo) and Internet Security programs have features that also block pop-ups.
Please direct questions or problems with the practice examinations to PearsonVUE at (888) 827-5228 or e-mail techassist@pearson.com.
