How the diagnostic works

The PTCE outline splits the exam into 4 areas. This diagnostic asks at least one question from every area and more where the outline puts more weight. Your report shows how you did in each area, a rough projection on the 80 scored items, and the 3 areas where fixing your answers is worth the most points.
