About Pearson VUE Exams
The first part of the tutorial is “About Pearson VUE Exams.” This section illustrates all of the functions that you may be asked to use when taking a computer-based test including how to answer questions, change answers, and review questions.

Interactive Demos
The second part of the tutorial is “Interactive Demos.” This section will give you a hands on opportunity to become familiar with the operations of computer-based examinations.
There are two demos. One is for traditional exams that allow marking of items for later review. The other is for computer adaptive (CAT) exams that do not allow such review. In a computer adaptive exam, new items are selected for presentation based on your responses to previous items. Because of this, the response to an item may not be reviewed or changed once you have moved on from that item.
The content of the questions in the demos is not specific to any one program, but it does provide the opportunity to use all of the functions to enter responses, view visuals and exhibits, scroll pages and review items. Examples of each type of function are shown. Not all functions are necessarily used in all “real-life” exams.
