| FAQ about NCPCCI Computer Based Testing |
All
NCPCCI examinations are delivered by computer at testing centers at
convenient locations throughout the country. This allows you to choose a
testing location, date and time of examination that is most convenient for
you. At the end of the examination you will be provided with a
printed copy of your Score Report. The following chart summarizes some
frequently asked questions about computer based testing.
In 1998, the NCPCCI examination transitioned from a paper-and-pencil to a
computer-based testing environment. A demonstration program is available
to help you become familiar with the new computer-delivered examinations.
The program provides registration and testing information, a self-paced
tutorial, and six sample questions.
What
type of computer will be used?
