It is highly recommended that students get comfortable writing two solid pieces in the time allowed for the Diploma Exam. To help, I have put together a FULL Part A: Written exam to practice. The Diploma exam is written on TWO separate dates. Part A: Written is always first and then Part B: Multiple Choice is about a week later. IMPORTANT NOTE: These are ACTUAL released Diploma Exam questions. However, it is important to understand that you WILL NOT GET THESE EXACT questions on your Diploma Exam, but they will be similar in design and nature.
Practice Part B: Multiple Choice QuestionsThese are actual released Diploma Exam multiple choice questions. There are actually MORE questions in this practice than there are on a
REAL Diploma Exam, but hey, then you get to really practice! |

There is also an answer key at the end of the document, so when you are done make sure you go through your answers and compare them with the key. An important piece of information to take into deep consideration is that you are ALLOWED to write on your exam booklets to help guide you through the thinking process, so why not practice that very effective strategy in this practice exam? Simply highlight, cross out, write notes and diagrams to help you through your thinking process. For that reason, it is best to print off this document so that you can put this highly effective strategy into practice!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ultimately, it is not important how many you got right or wrong in this practice exam. What matters is the analysis work you do AFTER to assess what exactly you did get wrong so that you can identify "holes" in your thinking and understanding. So the WHAT question is important, but then the next important questions you need to ask yourself with each incorrect anwer you got are the WHY and HOW questions. THEN you need to address the "HOW do you correct these errors in thinking and understanding in time for the REAL Diploma Exam?"
These are ACTUAL released Diploma Exam questions. However, it is important to understand that you WILL NOT GET THESE EXACT questions on your Diploma Exam, but they will be similar in design and nature.
