Once you login with your unique code and consent to take the assessment, you will be directed to a page that displays the five sections of the assessment. Here are some tips to ensure you complete the assessment correctly:

  • You may click on any section to start as it does not need to be in the order of what is displayed. Please kindly note that you are required to complete a section once you have started it.
  • Upon clicking into a section, the countdown timer will start, and you must complete the section within the timeframe. Make sure to click on the submit button in each section upon answering all the questions.
  • You can only move on to the next section once you submit the current section. Please be mindful that failure to submit a particular section within the timeframe will result in your entire assessment being void.

Yes. There will be a countdown timer on display in each of the five sections when you start the assessment. Remember to be mindful of the remaining time.
