Additional Information

  • Review will be Permitted: A special MARK tool will allow candidates to proceed without answering a question and then go back to it, or mark a question that has been answered and go back and review or change it. A review screen will allow candidates to see what has and has not been answered and see what items they have marked for review.
  • Single Essay Topic: In the essay section of the Computerized PPST Writing test, the candidates will be presented with a single essay topic. The response must be typed in the computer (same as for the current test).
  • No Calculator Needed: The Computerized PPST Mathematics test will not contain a calculator tool. Similar to the paper version of the test, the questions are designed to be answered without a calculator.
