Our goal is to get you, to use the mouse easily and very fast to rightfully answer all questions.

To successfully answer CBT questions, you’re required to slide the computer mouse to the running mouse. Slide the mouse sideways.
Do not turn it.
Then, click on the running mouse.

How Do You Choose the Correct Answers?

Most times, the questions which come out in the computer-based test are in the multi-choice format. Which is also known as the ‘multiChoice Question’.

This is a platform, where candidates who are writing the examination, will be required to pick the correct answer(s).

Here’s a perfect example of how the multi-choice question works.

When writing the examination, something very similar like the question below will show on your screen:

Example:  Solve for y.

if y – 2 + 3y = 10

A. 6
B. 5
C. 4
D. 3
E. 2

You select one of the best answers by:
Pressing the letter on the keyboard

After that, you should then click on the radio button with a mouse, or Use the Tab Key (which is in most computers, the first button in the third line) to move through the options and then pressing the space-bar to select an option.

Take note here, that only one radio button can be “on” at the same time, you can select only ONE answers.

For you to proceed to the next page/question, on the Next button which is located under each question.

After selecting the best answer to the question, to save time, you should proceed and click the NEXT button to go to another question until you are through with every question.

You can still omit or skip any question which you are not familiar with, or you don’t know the answer to. You still have the option of coming back to answer the question!
