Quizzes are taken online by clicking on "Take Quiz" link in your course outline. Feedback on your quiz performance and quiz answers are provided after you complete each quiz.

    STEP 4: Take the final exams

    Before reviewing any course material online, DRE requires you to acknowledge, under penalty of perjury, that you are the person enrolled, and you will be the only person to complete the course.

    You must pass all exams with a score of 70% to receive 45 hours of continuing education credit. Exams are multiple choice and open book.

    Minimum study times for reset sections vary;

    • two days when you fail Section 1 or 2 exams;
