  DANB Tutorial
 

Welcome to the DANB examination tutorial. This tutorial has been developed especially for those people who have never taken a computerized examination. It will allow you to experience the different processes that are available to help you navigate through the test and show you different methods to answer test questions on the computer.

This tutorial is presented in two parts.

  1. Guided Tour - The Pearson VUE Corporation has developed this generic tutorial to acquaint the test taker with the various functions and possible features that their company has available for computerized testing.

  2. Demo Test - This is specific to the DANB tests and includes the features we have chosen to incorporate into our examinations.
We suggest that you start with the "Guided Tour" just to acquaint yourself with some of the features of computerized testing. Once you have experienced and practiced these features, go to the DANB "Demo Test" so that you know what to expect when you arrive at a Pearson Professional Center (PPC). Allow yourself to become familiar with the features you will experience when you take a DANB test on computer.

When you are testing, remember to relax and to breathe.
