Instructions on Taking a Test

Top

– Enter your login name and test-taker password.

– Do not use the double click option anywhere in the application. The result could be different from the ones you expect.

– The instruction screen is provided in every section, and can be accessed anytime while answering the questions in a test. 

Overview Screen

To guide you on the topics covered and the types of questions you encounter in a section, a section-wise overview screen is provided in the test mode. Make sure that you are familiar with the function of every key before you begin taking the test.

What does the Button Panel Overview do?

This explains the functions of all the buttons that appear on the question screen. This can be viewed only once, i.e., before taking the test. So make sure you understand what every button on the screen does well before you take a test.

Timer

The timer is highlighted in red at the top right-hand corner throughout the test.  Keep checking the time at regular intervals to make sure that you have enough time to answer all the questions.
