Seeing Time RemainingIf your practice test is timed, the time remaining is displayed on the upper-right corner of the application screen. It counts down the minutes and seconds remaining to complete the test. If you run out of time, you are asked if you want to continue taking the test or if you want to end your exam. Getting Your Examination Score ReportThe Examination Score Report screen appears when the Practice Exam mode ends as a result of time expiration, completion of all questions, or your decision to terminate early. This screen provides a graphical display of your test score, with a breakdown of scores by topic domain. The graphical display at the top of the screen compares your overall score with the PrepLogic Exam Competency Score. The PrepLogic Exam Competency Score reflects the level of subject competency required to pass the particular vendor's exam. Although this score does not directly translate to a passing score, consistently matching or exceeding this score does suggest that you possess the knowledge needed to pass the actual vendor exam. Reviewing Your ExamFrom the Your Score Report screen, you can review the exam that you just completed by clicking the View Items button. You can navigate through the items, viewing the questions, your answers, the correct answers, and the explanations for those questions.
