These diagnostic assessments are solely to help guide your decisions about which courses you should study to increase the likelihood of a successful outcome on your credentialing exam. The results on this assessment will not be used for any other purpose.
These questions represent our best judgment as to what is assessed on this exam and the last course in the sequence of NJCTL courses in which that topic is taught. Hence, if you do well on the questions from an early course, you can better focus your efforts on later courses.
To make this effective it is important that you do not guess on questions since if you get them correct by chance you may mislead yourself. Similarly, if you find you struggle or take an excessive amount of time to do a problem, you may be better served by skipping it since it would probably be worth learning that topic more thoroughly.
Since this assessment cannot thoroughly probe each aspect of a topic given its limited length, taking the above instructions to heart would give you a more informative result than by trying your best to maximize your score.
