How do I get started?
If you already have an account, click ‘Login’ and sign in using the email address and password you specified when you created your account.
If you don’t have an account yet, click ‘Create Account’, fill in the fields and click ‘Create Account’ at the bottom of the page.
You can also use the website without creating an account, but you won’t be able to store your study history, so every time you return to PMTestOnline you’ll have to start from scratch.
How do I get to the questions ?
Click the ‘Study’ button.
How do I answer the questions ?
If you think you know the answer to the question, click anywhere within that answer text region or the radio button.
If you don’t know the answer, click Show answer. After you’ve read any explanations and learned the right answer, click on it to continue. .
Some questions have hint or ‘Read up on this’ buttons (distinguished by red text). Press these buttons to see the relevant infotext.
You can also click 50/50 to eliminate half of the wrong answers. .
A single click records your correct answer and brings up the next question. .
Be sure to read all of the program’s responses. They contain useful additional information!
How do I choose a topic to study ?
Click on the ‘Choose Topics’ button. You can check or uncheck any of the topics on display. For example you can check ‘Time Management’ if you only want to study those questions. Overall it’s best to leave everything checked, so that the system can decide how to teach you all the material according to your pace and progress.
How do I make it repeat questions more (or less) often?
The Repetition delay factor on the Options screen gives you control over how soon the program repeats questions. Increase it to increase the time between question repetitions; decrease it to see the questions sooner. If you want noticeable results, make large changes to this factor. For example, if a factor of 1 gives too much repetition, try setting it to 5 or 10. No matter what factor you choose, the program always uses ‘intelligent repetition’, showing you questions with low scores sooner than questions with high scores.
How so I get the program to only ask me questions in a specific score range ?
You cannot directly control which questions the program asks. However, if you want to see a higher percentage of new questions, increase the ‘Repetition Delay Factor’ on the Options screen. If you want more review questions, decrease the factor. You can also enable or disable specific subtopics on the Choose topics screen to concentrate on a specific study area.
How do I save my session?
First, you must create an account (it’s free!). Click Create Account. Enter all required fields and any desired optional fields, then click Create Account at the bottom of the page. Correct any error until you see the “Account for… successfully created” message at the top of the screen. Then click Study to return to the questions. Your scores are permanently saved as each question response is processed. Once you’ve created an account it’s not necessary to save your session ever again. Just be sure to sign in to the same account each time you return to the site.
How do I end a session?
If you’ve not yet created an account, create one now so that you can resume studying where you left off. Then press Logout, or just close your browser window or leave the website. Your session is automatically saved.
How do I change my email address, password or other account information ?
You can change your email address, password, and other information in your account anytime on the ‘My Account’ screen.
How do I update the statistics on “Choose Topics” and other screens ?
The system automatically updates all statistics on the fly. However, when the system is really busy, we sometimes delay statistics recalculation by as much as 5 minutes (excellent response times are more important than up-to-the-second statistics). If you want your statistics to change, spend more time studying on the website!
How do I see and compare my score?
Click the ‘Top Scores’ button. You’ll see the top ten worldwide scores, and also those in your neighbourhood if you’re not in the top ten, so that you can compare your progress against other users of PMTestOnline. The system shows you what proportion of the questions you’ve studied, and to what extent you have Learned, need Review, are Weak in your understanding, and which you’ve not seen yet (Unseen).
