You will probably encounter different tests throughout your career. For example, if you are studying to be a nurse you are tested on subjects like anatomy and pharmacology. After you graduate you will be required to take certification and recertification exams that gauge your mastery of the latest information in different aspects of nursing.

Some postgraduate tests are for entry into the field; some test proficiency on particular equipment; some move you to the next level of employment. Choose one career you are thinking about and investigate what tests are involved as you advance through different career stages.

Use the accompanying grid to organize what you find. You’ll be searching for the following information:
