Certification Practice Exams
In addition to the qualified assessments at the end of each course, CFI's certification programs also contain practice exams. We encourage our learners to take these practice exams before writing the final exam to understand better what to expect.
The Importance of Practice Exams
Why are practice exams important?
We highly encourage all learners to take practice exams because they:
- tell you which topics you have and have not mastered
- guide you to spend additional time studying in weak areas
- help boost your confidence before taking the final
- increase your chances of passing the final exam on the first try
How to Unlock Practice Exams
How do I access the practice exam?
- All program requirements must be completed before the practice exam will become available for you to take.
- Locate the practice exam by logging in to your dashboard and:
- Selecting "My Learning Journey."
- Click "Certifications" and "Resume Certification" on the program you are ready to take the practice exam for.
- Scroll down to the Exam section and click "Take the Practice Exam."
While the practice exam is not as long and in-depth as the final exam, finding a quiet place with a strong internet connection is still recommended to increase your focus.
Reviewing the Results of Your Practice Exam
Upon completing a practice exam, you can review your results by going to My Learning Journey > Certifications > Click the program name > Try Practice Exam > Test Results.
You can see and download the Respondent Tag Analysis for each practice exam attempt. This analysis will show you what you did well on, and what you should continue to focus on before taking the final exam.
