What is a practice exam?
A practice exam is a useful tool for discovering if you are adequately prepared to take a state exam. The practice exam is representative of the actual state exam. When scheduling your practice exam, be sure to take into consideration when you would like to take the state exam and the corresponding registration deadlines so that you can be sure to allow ample time for the practice exam as well as time for the Certification office to process your test approval.
Should I study before attempting a practice exam?
Practice exams should be taken seriously. Failure to adequately prepare will probably result in a low score.

Are there any fees charged for practice exams?
The first practice exam is offered at no charge to the student. However, subsequent practice exams attempted after taking the first free test will require a $10 fee per attempt. For your convenience, LETU will accept any method of payment excluding cash and American Express. Any applicable fee payments will be collected when you arrive to take the practice exam.
