The NCRA Certification and Testing Team is always listening — and we’ve heard you! Thanks to valuable feedback from our candidates, the NCRA Board, and our dedicated testing task forces, we’re rolling out some exciting new updates to help you feel more confident and ready when it’s time to test.
Get Ready to Warm Up Your Way!
We know those test-day jitters are real. That’s why starting with the March 2025 testing period, candidates will be able to replay the warm-up as many times as they like before launching their test. Settle in, take a deep breath, and get in your groove — on your terms.
New Tools to Help You Prep Like a Pro
You asked, and we delivered! We’ve posted a comprehensive list of preview words from our current active testing bank right on our Online Skills Testing Information Page. These are the words you might see on test day — no surprises, just preparation power.
And there’s more: We’re working closely with RealTime Coach to bring you test topic previews directly in the platform. Soon, when you access your exam, you’ll get a glimpse of the test topic before you begin writing.
More Improvements Ahead
We’re not stopping here — more updates are in the works and scheduled to launch later this year. Stay tuned for what’s next as we continue to make your testing experience better than ever!
Save the Date: Registration for the next Online Skills Test opens June 1.
