How Pretests and Posttests Test Your Knowledge Quizzes Work
Each competency has a pretest at the beginning and a posttest at the end called
"Test Your Knowledge." The pretest enables you to see how much you know
about a topic. You can skip the pretest and go straight to the competency. The posttest
helps you see whether you've learned the competency content.
