Test Preparation

List the AEPA tests that you are preparing to take.

Testing History

If you previously took a test in the AEPA program and did not meet the passing score, attach copies of your individual score reports.

Review your score report(s) to determine the subareas or sections of the test in which your performance was weakest, and then plan to do some additional studying in those areas. However, while concentrating your studies on your areas of weakness, you should also be sure to do some additional preparation addressing the content covered in the other subareas or sections of the test. Remember, your score for the test is based on the total number of questions you answer correctly (combined with your scores on the performance assignments, if applicable); therefore, improvement on any section of the test will improve your total score. Finally, you may also want to do some additional studying in the sections of the test that contain the greatest percentage of test questions when this information is provided, as they will contribute the most to your total score.
