CRE Sample Quiz

This is a demo quiz for the CRE Preparation on demand course

There quizzes and examples throughout the course, plus a couple sample exams that you can download (still working to bring full practice exams online, too). Overtime, I will be adding hints, suggestions, and explanations of the answers.

Give the quiz a try and let me know if anything isn’t working.

After you click the Start Quiz button you will see one question at a time. Select the answer and click Submit. The next question will appear. When you finish the quiz you will see your score and have the ability to go back through the questions.

When you refresh the page or visit the page again, the quiz resets allowing you to take the quiz again.

Let me know what you think of the quiz format and what you would like to see included or available concerning quizzes.

PS — I know the final ‘Continue’ button doesn’t work and I’m working to sort that out. And, I’ll be working to update the format based on the new computer testing format, including the ability to flag and skip questions prior to answering them.

    It worket out fine in Windows 7 and Explorer 10, Fred!

    I would add a small explanation (and/or which is the related chapter) of the correct and failed answers in the revision panel.

    Cheers,

      Thanks Ricardo, appreciate the confirmation the quizzes work across various platforms. And, I agree that the quizzes should have an explanation or description of the solution – I’m first working on finishing the lectures, then the quiz questions (almost done with both…) and then will be adding solutions and descriptions of the solutions for the quizzes.

      plus, more content and materials…. lot’s to go, yet it’s taking shape nicely.

      thanks again for the feedback.

      Cheers,

      Fred

      Thanks for letting me know – much appreciate that. I’m currently working on 5 sample exams, not sure I want to use the same approach. Maybe a pdf instead, so you can print and work as if working on the exam. Any thoughts on that?

      Cheers,

    Fred- Quiz worked out well. Running Windows 7 and Chrome Version 48.0.2564.103 m (64-bit). I think when reviewing the quiz, “Review Quiz” once you are complete- it would be a great idea to explain the answers. Great job. Looking forward to this!!

      Thanks Salman – much appreciate the note. I’m working on adding quick quiz items along with recommendations for further reading. Plus, looking forward to launching the course soon. There’s a lot I’d like to add the course, and a few problems I need to fix (most recently is server capacity having me explore other website file storage and ability to deliver worldwide quickly…). See you in the course. cheers, Fred

    Have you perhaps had an opportunity to update it with new material?

      Hi Khomotso,

      thanks for the note and I’ve two projects to complete before returning to the CRE Prep updates – while I do have some material prepared I do need to perform many edits to update the structure of the course along with adding the new material.

      Cheers,
