Access the Diagnostic Pre-Tests

How you open a diagnostic pre-test depends on whether the instructor is requiring that students complete the pre-tests. When the pre-tests are not required, or if you are working in a course on your own, you can access them from the Study Plan.

The instructor requires that students take pre-tests: When you enter the course, the MyLab displays a screen displaying links to one or more pre-tests. You must complete all the tests before you can access the rest of the course materials. Click a pre-test's link to open the diagnostic test. See Take a Required Diagnostic Test for more information.
The pre-tests are not required: You can take the tests on your own. See Take a Diagnostic Test on Your Own for more information.
Note: The instructor can choose to hide all diagnostic pre-tests, in which case you cannot access them.

The diagnostics are not timed tests. Take your time—it is more important that you work through and understand the material than it is that you race against the clock.
