The purpose of including pilot test questions within the examination is to expand and improve the bank of questions from whichfuture examinations will be drawn. This is a common practice used by many national and state examinationprograms and is a critical step in ensuring the continued reliability and validity of these examinations.In the event that pilot test questions are included within the examination, these questions will NOT be countedwhen computing scores. Additional time will be given for answering the pilot test questions. The time allowedfor testing has been evaluated to ensure there is adequate time for completing test questions and pilot questions.Pilot questions are NOT identified. If the pilot questions were identified, many of the candidates would skipthem, and the results would not be valid. The development of a good examination requires accurate candidateresponse information for the pilot questions.TEST TAKING ADVICEThe advice offered here is presented primarily to help you demonstrate knowledge and maximize your chancesof passing the examination.
