Practice with the Demo Test

The Demo Test will be shorter than the Actual Test and will include only sample items.

To be able to take the Demo Test you must have already installed the MSB in your computer. If you have not, download and install this application. There should be no other browser/application opened as you download and use the MSB. The MSB will be downloaded once you conduct the system compatibility check.

Note: You cannot start the Demo Test or the Actual Test without successfully downloading the secure exam browser or MSB.
