3 Certification Examination Question Types and Examples Examination Overview Autodesk certification examinations are web-based and each consists of ~ 50 questions delivered in a secure software environment. Some of the questions require you to use Inventor 11 to create or modify drawings. The question formats includes multiple choice, multi-select, point and click, and matching. The examination has a 2 hour time limit. When you complete your examination you will receive an on line score report, and your exam results will always be available online at These results will be kept confidential. You must complete your certification examination at an Authorized Autodesk Test Facility or at AU. When you check in to your examination appointment e you are required to present two forms of identification, once of which must be a current and valid Photo ID (such as a Drivers License, Passport, Government issued ID, School ID, etc.). A second for of identification might include a Credit Card or an Employee ID. The second from must include a signature matching the signature on your Photo ID. While taking the exam, you may not use calculators, books, cell phones, or other electronic equipment. The examination interface includes an on line calculator you can use to perform computations. Your examination proctor will explain the examination policies before you begin your examination. Question Types and Examples Autodesk certification examinations incorporate four primary question types that are designed to assess your knowledge and skills. Each question type is described below, and an example is provided. Please note that examples of each question are not intended to be examples of the actual examination content, but merely provide examples of the basic structure of the question types included on the examination presented to you. When you complete your certification examination at an Autodesk Authorized Test Delivery Facility, you will have the opportunity to complete a brief tutorial that will allow you to practice making your selection for each question type. Multiple-Choice This common question type presents a scenario or performance task that will assess your knowledge and skills, and two or more answers. When answering a multiple choice question select the option that best answers the question. Multi-Select This question type presents a scenario or performance task that will assess your knowledge and skills, and three or more answers. When answering a multi select question select all options that are correct. Point and Click This question type presents an image on the screen, and asks you to identify a specific element contained in the image. When answering a point and click question, locate the element identified in the question and click the left mouse button over the element. Your selection is marked on the screen. Matching A matching question includes two columns of information, and you are required to match each element in the column to the left with a corresponding element in the column to the right. Preparation Courseware A complete Autodesk Inventor 11 Certified User and Expert Exam Preparation Guides are available from Autodesk. The guide contains content detailed information about objective. Each section number in this paper mirrors the section number in the same section number in Autodesk Inventor 11 Certified User or Expert Exam Preparation Guide. 2
