Is there a cost associated with a NIMS practice test online, or a limit on the number of attempts?
There is no fee to access any practice test provided by NIMS. Candidates may take the practice test as many times as they feel necessary, though the system does not save results. Account administrators should request to have the Candidate role added to their existing accounts to view practice tests.
