Read Articles Before Starting Questions
There are THREE places to access your articles. It is vital that you read each article BEFORE proceeding to your questions. The article is NOT presented at the same time as the question. Once you click to start answering a question, you will have 10 minutes to submit your answer. Read all system messages while taking your assessment to ensure you do not miss and important warning or instruction.
The following images illustrate the various opportunities for accessing the articles.
