Prometric Tutorial Available on ABO Website

Checkout the Prometric exam tutorial on the ABO website. This tutorial is an updated version of the tutorial presented during my Prometric "Test Drive". An additional feature on the ABO version, is the ability to "strike-out" multiple choice answers that you want to eliminate. This will be helpful, especially if you need to quickly answer "incomplete" questions at the end of the exam time.

The advantage of going through the tutorial during the "Test Drive" was that all of the feature buttons ("Next", "Previous", "Back", "Mark", "Marked" (Unmark) ) were interactive. In the ABO version, all of the features are presented on the screenshots but they are not interactive. Only the "strike-out" feature is interactive. There was no difference between a Mac and a PC.

My Prometric "Test Drive"

I recently scheduled the opportunity to take the Prometric "Test Drive". Anyone is eligible to schedule a "Test Drive" regardless of whether you are scheduled for an exam at a Prometric Testing Center or not. The cost is $30 and the session is 30 minutes. Overall, I found the experience positive and valuable.

Not everyone may be close enough or have the inclination to take a "Test Drive". Therefore, I documented my personal experience. Click here to read about it "step by step".

The ABO sent an email on 5/13/11, to all Active Candidates, indicating that a Prometric computer-based tutorial would be available on the ABO website beginning 5/16/11. I imagine the tutorial may be similar to the one available during my Prometric "Test Drive". 

The ABO's Board Certification Examination Candidate Guide, which is available on the ABO website, also provides valuable information regarding the Prometric "testing experience".
