Frequently Asked Questions
Students cannot schedule secure exams—this is an instructor-only permission. The Secure Testing exams are password-protected, and we require an instructor to proctor these exams to students. Students may not take our secure exams in an unsupervised setting.
If you’re a student wishing to take an exam without a proctor, we recommend you use Study Tools—an independent account that give students access to non-secure practice exams. These practice exams do not need to be scheduled. You can take them at your leisure.
Once you finish taking an exam, your results should be available to you instantly.

Rather than showing you the exact 200 questions from the exam, we provide you with a Learning Prescription. The Learning Prescription outlines in detail your recommended study areas, based on questions you answered incorrectly. The Learning Prescription also breaks down what types of questions you missed: Knowledge, Application, and Problem Solving.
Educational experts advise that it is better to focus on the topics you missed so that you can review the material and better target your studying. Otherwise, students have a tendency to want to memorize the correct answers to our questions—questions you won’t see again on the NREMT.
