Information
Hello this is the sample Targets quiz. The format of the 165 question Practice Examinations is the same as this quiz. Please read the following instructions CAREFULLY or you will LOSE your answers and your quiz.
The content of these exams is copyrighted. You are not allowed to copy or distribute the content in any way, shape or form. This quiz covers pg S42 of the 2018 Diabetes Canada guidelines. The other targets will be covered in a later quiz once you are further along in the guidelines.
1) Closing the window or navigating to another page will end the exam and erase your answers
2) The way I suggest to write this quiz is to finish a question and then hit the “skip question” button to go to the next question. After completing all of the questions, go back to the first question and click on the “check” button to see if you got the right answer and review the answer
3) Pressing the “Quiz Summary” button and then the “Finish Quiz” button at the end of the exam will score the exam. You will not be able to go back and review your answers after hitting the “Finish Quiz” button. The system will score your test and show you a breakdown of how you did in each of the eight competencies for the exam
4) There is a timer bar on the top. On the May exam you have 165 questions to answer in 210 minutes (3.5 hours) giving you ~1.25 minutes per question. To simulate this, you have 6 x 1.25= ~7.5 minutes to complete the quiz. After 7.5 minutes the quiz will automatically kick you out of the system and score your quiz.
I hope you enjoy this quiz and find it helpful
