Computer Based Test

The CBT contains a numeracy test (which consists of short-answer questions requiring a numerical answer), objective questions and a theory test (which is multiple choice). The CBT can be taken at a Pearson VUE test centre, available in most countries around the world. Candidates will be given a short tutorial on how to use the computer before starting the examination. The CBT comprises 115 questions.

All questions are scored as correct or incorrect, and there is no partial credit. The length of the CBT is 3 hours, and this includes any breaks from testing, which are optional.
