Practice Tests

Taking an actual test is the most helpful way to study for a certification exam, which is where practice tests come into play. They’re interactive and customizable, and you can track your performance on a module-by-module basis to get immediate feedback that helps you focus on areas for improvement.

Each practice test offers three modes designed to help you prepare:

  • Study Mode works as a study guide to evaluate your knowledge. There are answers and full explanations for each question, and you have the option to NOT time yourself so you can study at your own pace.
  • Practice Exams give you the chance to take a simulated timed practice test.
  • Flash Cards provide the questions WITHOUT multiple choice answers for a true test of your mastery.

Here’s how to find practice tests on EdCast:

  1. Search for a certification exam or vendor (for example, AZ-900 or Microsoft). Then in the Content Type filter, select Assessment and click Apply.

  2. In the Content Source filter, select O’Reilly Learning and click Apply.
