A Volunteer Examiner Tutorial: “How to Navigate the ExamTools [Sandbox] Test Environment”

Posted on by

This updated presentation from AA1XQ provides a quick look at how the ExamTools Test environment functions by looking at the application using the ExamTools SandBox. Once conversant with the machinations of the process, conducting a faux ExamTools session in the SandBox should take only 10 – 15 minutes.  Having completed this tutorial, a VE will be trained to lead an electronic format license exam session.

All NCRC VEs should complete this training ASAP.
