Exam Testing

Autodesk Certification offers a variety of exam types including simple item type exams and performance-based exams. Performance-based testing is defined as testing by doing. Rather than answer questions about how you might accomplish a task, you actually perform the task. Performance-based testing is widely accepted as a better way of ensuring you have the skills needed for the application, rather than just recalling information. You can find specific format information for each test in the Exam Overview document or Exam Guide for each certification exam.
