Strategy for taking the tests

There are 3 stages to each test within the BOFA platform: Initial Test → Practice Stage → Retest

The best way to go about doing the tests is to first complete the initial test, then to use the practice stage as revision for those topics that you don't understand. You will only be given questions during the practice stage covering topics you answered questions on incorrectly during the initial test. You will then wait about a week before completing the Retest. Our adaptive system will automatically schedule your retest after you've ended the practice stage.

The reason our system requires you wait about a week before completing the retest is to solidify the learning in the long-term memory, as this will secure the knowledge and make it more likely that you will remember the topic for the exam.

Before completing the practice stage, we recommend you take a break - we don't want you to become restless. During the practice stage, it might be a good idea to take notes. We advise you have a pen/pencil and piece of paper on hand while taking all BOFA tests. 

On each test page, there is the option to change the font size and colour, background colour and if need be translate the page.
