The Web-based tools help you determine your initial level of knowledge, create a study plan based on your individual needs, reinforce your studies with practice tests, and track your learning progress through progress reports. The Web-based portion of the course consists of the following components.

• Overview
  The overview will guide you through the APICS CSCP Learning System.

• Pre- and post-tests
  These practice tests, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions each, cover content drawn from the entire system. After each question, you will be provided with immediate feedback, including the correct answer and the rationale for that answer. A running total of questions answered correctly is provided as you proceed through the test. The pre-test results will provide you with an indication of those areas that require the most attention. The post-test results will measure your progress following your completion of the course.

• Module-specific tests
  Functioning similarly to the pre- and post-tests, the module-specific tests allow you to check your understanding and retention of materials within a given module. The questions include immediate feedback, answer rationales, and reference to the relevant sections in the text so you can review trouble areas.

• Glossary
  Accessible any time during the program, the Web-based pop-up glossary allows you to look up definitions of terms without leaving your current activity.

• eFlashcards
  These flashcards will supplement your exam practice sessions by testing your knowledge using an interactive drill-and-practice format.

• Information Center
  Access to updates, related links, and test taking tips. Also provides additional reference and feedback opportunities.

• Reports
  Individuals and/or managers can track course progress and document the learning gain through a complimentary reporting feature that includes pre- and post-test scores and module-specific test scores.

A test-timing feature is available on all tests. It measures the elapsed time and assesses whether you are on track to complete the APICS CSCP exam in the allotted time.
