Demonstration Examination Software Download

Read this first...
This is a demonstration of the Institutes' exam delivery software. It is designed to let you see what it will be like to take an Institute exam on a computer. This software is not intended to be used as a study aide. Therefore, you will not be able to choose a demonstration exam with questions representing any one course offered by The Institutes.

Benefits of a Demo Exam
The purpose of this software download is to allow you to become familiar with the Institutes’ testing procedures without time pressures or other concerns. Our goal is to help you to perform as well as you possibly can on upcoming exams, and knowing what to expect can help make that possible.

Using the demonstration software may help you in the following ways:

You can spend as much time as you like reviewing the Tutorial that precedes each Institute exam. The Tutorial is designed to help you understand how to proceed through the exam process and how to use the test-taking tools available to you.
You can familiarize yourself with how test questions, cases, and possible reference material can be accessed and displayed.
You can practice how to record your answers, change your answers, or mark your answers for later review.
You can learn how to monitor both your time remaining in the testing period and your progress through the exam.
And, finally, you can acquaint yourself with the various question formats you will encounter on the examination.

Selecting a Demo Exam
The basic difference in the two demo exams is the style of questions and the manner in which you record your answer. There are two kinds of demo exams provided. The essay demo exam requires you to record your answer in the essay format used for most CPCU exams. Select the essay demo exam to see what taking an essay-style CPCU exam on computer will be like. The objective demo is an objective (multiple choice) examination that requires you to select one correct or best answer from among four choices. This exam format is used for all IIA exams, plus the CPCU 553 and CPCU 557 exams. Select the objective demo exam if you are studying for one of these exams.

Three Points to Remember:

Actual Institute exams are made up of more questions than appear on either demo exam. Most CPCU essay exams contain 25 to 40 questions. CPCU objective exams contain 100 questions. A typical IIA exam for a designation course consists of 85 questions. The number of questions comprising an actual Institute exam will be displayed when the test is administered. However, the reference materials presented in the essay demo exam are similar to the reference materials presented in the actual CPCU 540 exam.
The objective demo examination has a one-hour time limit. The essay demo examination has a three-hour time limit. However, actual Institute exams have various time limits that will be displayed when the test is administered.
The demo exams are intended to make you comfortable with the Institutes’ testing environment. Since questions used on the demos will not appear on actual examinations, it would be inappropriate to use a demo exam as a supplementary study device.
