Instructions

There are 24 questions in this sample test. In the actual test (as in the TespPrep-Online Practice Pack), there will be 72. Each correct answer adds 1 point to your score, and each incorrect answer subtracts ⅓ of a point. This sample consists of 4 consecutive, timed sections, of which only 2 are scored. In the actual test (as in the TespPrep-Online Practice Pack), there will be 7. The time periods allotted for each section in this sample were modified accordingly. The unscored sections have been included as we recommend using them for studying the Coding Guide and testing yourself.Use the time of the unscored sections to study the Coding Guide. Note that this part of the test spans a total of 26:00 minutes. The sections are:

1. Introduction (2:00)

   In this section, you will be introduced to the concept of the test. You will have the Coding Guide available and will be taught how the test works. You should fill out some of the questions and focus on studying the Coding Guide, as it should be the same one throughout the test. The reason you should bother to fill out some of the questions is because if you don't, an instructor may think you don't understand how the test works and will interrupt you while you study the Coding Guide.
   Important; you should already start memorizing the Coding Guide in this section. It will be helpful for both scored sections of the test.

2. Coding Exercise (1:30)

   In this section, you will have a chance to exercise. Again, you will have the Coding Guide available, so you should fill out some of the questions and focus on studying the Coding Guide.

3. Coding (2:00)

   The first scored section. You will have 6 minutes to complete answer questions. Your score will increase by a point for each correct answer, and decrease by a third of a point for each incorrect answer. Fields left blank will not affect your score. Statistically, a guess is expected to change your score by exactly 0, so educated guesses will do more good than harm (except for the time you spend making it).

4. Study Period 1 (3:00)

   This section's sole purpose is to study the Coding Guide in preparation for the Memory section.

5. Memory Exercise (1:30)

   In this section, you will have a chance to exercise. You will not have the Coding Guide available this time. Use this time to find out which streets you remember better and which you need to focus on in the next study period.

6. Study Period (8:00)

   Another section solely for preparing for the Memory section. Test yourself; look sideways and try to recite which addresses belong to which route.

7. Memory (3:00)

   The second scored section. You will have 7 minutes to complete answer questions. Scoring works the same as in the coding section.

Good luck!
