Common questions

Does a high rating mean I will pass?: No. This reflects only your own view of your practice. Your assessor decides competency, using the official assessment.
Where do the six areas come from?: They are preparation topics written by Operation Optimize to organise your practice. They are not a reproduction of any official assessment content.
Is anything stored?: Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose to save the summary into a free Professional Passport.
