In a SIMnet exam, test bank questions will each appear on their own screen. Test bank questions can be attempted a single time only, even if the exam settings allow for multiple attempts on other questions.

Instructors can tell whether an exam question is a SIMnet simulation question or a test bank question in the*Module Name*section of the*Assigned Questions*box. Test bank questions will be labeled as*Test Bank Questions*. SIMnet simulation questions will display the specific module they were selected from.
