Q: What is the format of ABC Testing’s examination questions?

A: WPI recommends that you review the Need-to-Know Criteria for your exam to identify those areas for which you may need additional preparation. A list of reference materials for each exam is included in each Need-to-Know Criteria and on the Exam References page of our website. You may also wish to familiarize yourself with the Formula/Conversion Table that will be provided for your use during the exam.
Q: How do I prepare to take a Computer-Based or Web-Based exam?

WPI will review specific candidate comments relating to the examination at the request of testing service clients. A written response will be provided to the client but not to the candidates. Although WPI will provide a recommendation, the client makes the final decision to change the examination score.
Q: How does WPI validate the questions and exams?
A: An overview of WPI’s validation process is found in the pamphlet Validating Your Certification Exam.
