VEs have the option of using our tests or designing their own examinations.
We prefer that our teams use our PC-compatible software which permits VE teams to easily and correctly prepare needed examinations.

The second character is the subelement number. See Table 5.1 for the number of questions that mustl be selected from each topic to properly prepare an examination.
