The remaining 16 are not scored but are included for a practice known as “pretesting.” Pretesting means that these items are being evaluated for potential inclusion on future examinations as scored questions. To ensure the CRTS exam is up to date, secure, and always improving, new questions must be continuously introduced and evaluated. Pretesting is an accepted testing practice that helps ensure high quality and consistent scoring. The scored and unscored questions are spread throughout the examination; candidates should answer all 106 questions to the best of their ability. Candidates have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the exam, which is administered online through a personal computer. The testing program does not allow candidates to move back and forth through the exam, change answers, mark questions for later attention, skip questions, and review questions. It is very important to pace yourself accordingly to finish the exam on time.
An exam will last 1 hour 30 minutes.
