Please note:
- The 8-character keycode is pre-entered, click 'OK' to proceed.
- You will need to read and accept the terms and conditions before the example tasks will start.
- These are not intended to be a demonstration of the actual exam. The full exam is adaptive, meaning that the tasks you receive, and the difficulty of the questions will adjust based on your ability.
- The ISE Digital demo test helps candidates practise question types and navigation. It does not replicate the secure browser used in the live exam. The ISE Digital exam requires a secure browser that blocks multiple monitors and secondary screens. The demo test may allow these, but this is not the case for the live exam. Complete the Equipment Check test, available on the MyTrinity booking platform once registered, in advance to confirm device compatibility.
- There may be some visual variations between these example tasks from what you will see in the actual exam.
