How to use this Practice Exam:

Take it once, after you have reviewed, familiaized yourself with the Exam Blueprint, and self-assessed your Knowledge Gap

Use the resulting score and Performance Report to confirm your areas of strength and weakness.   The score from the 1st taking is the most important one to  use to check your GISP Knowledge Gap.  

Take it a 2nd time after several months of study in your areas of weakness to gauge your level of knowledge improvement.  Repeated testing in a short period of time will only show answer memory, which can provide a false sense of improvement.
