WHERE TO START IN YOUR EXAM PREPARATION

 

Step 1: Confirm which licensure exam(s) you need to take for your program and by when. If you are unsure, you can review your Location Page to confirm your exam(s) and program deadlines first, then if you still have questions feel free to reach out to [email protected]

Step 2:  Review the state-specific exam vendor's provided preparation materials to get an understanding of the test format, timing, and content assessed. 

Step 3:  After reviewing the test vendor's preparation materials, explore what types of exam prep supports are available for your exam(s) and determine which are most likely to support your success  (below).
