INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING TEST E DIFFER FROM TESTS A – D.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING ON TEST E!
GENERAL INFORMATION: Practice Test E consists of 200 items covering all EPPP content domains. Ideally, Test E should be taken in Test Mode (for the first time) after Tests A – D have all been taken in Study Mode, Retake Mode, and Test Mode. To optimize your score on Practice Test E it is recommended that prior to taking this test you should have attained mastery on Tests A - D. Specifically, you should have achieved scores of 95% or above on Tests A - D in Test Mode.
Practice Test E in Test Mode should ideally be taken at least three weeks prior to taking the EPPP examination. A score of 130 – 135 or above on Test E in Test Mode is highly predictive of EPPP success. You will be able to take Practice Test E three times: Test Mode, Study Mode, and Retake Mode. You will be able to review your results as often as you like.
TEST MODE: It is strongly recommended the first time you take Practice Test E you complete the test in Test Mode. In Test Mode, all 200 test items are presented, and you must complete all items before you will have the opportunity to review the rationales. Allow 4 hours to complete Test E in Test Mode, and as much time as needed (typically at least an additional two – three hours) to review the rationales. After taking Test E is Test Mode, you are encouraged to take the test in Study Mode, as well as Retake Mode.
STUDY MODE: We recommend you wait to take Practice Test E in Study Mode at least 1 week after completing and studying Practice Test E in Test Mode. In Study Mode, Practice Test E is broken into eight parts (25 questions in each part). The test software will prompt you to review the rationale for each question immediately after completing the question; you should take the time to thoroughly review and study each rationale. On average it should take about ¾ - 1 hour to complete and study EACH part of Test E in Study Mode. A question missed on Test E in Study Mode represents a personal red flag, a question you may miss on the actual exam unless you take some action! It is expected that you will miss fewer than half as many items in Study Mode as you missed in Test Mode for Test E.
RETAKE MODE: We recommend you wait to take Practice Test E in Retake Mode at least 1 week after completing and studying Practice Test E in Study Mode. In Retake Mode, Practice Test E is broken into two parts (100 questions in each part). The test software will again prompt you to review the rationale for each question immediately after completing the question. Allow 2.5 hours to complete each part of Practice Test E in Retake Mode. In is expected that you should score at least 190/200 or 95% in Test Mode.
