Submitting a Posttest
To take a posttest, log in with an IHS login. The link to log in is in the leftside menu of each module's posttest page. (You will only need to log in once to any page that provides the link in the IHS site.) Once you fill in the registration information on the posttest page of one module, the demographics will self populate all future modules, thereby saving you time and effort.
You can take and retake any posttest. Any time you take a posttest, an email will sent to you with answers. You only get credit for the first time you take a module's posttest.
You can change your contact information (except their email address, through this system) in the form of any module's posttest once you've submitted your contact information in the first posttest you take.
You can update your contact information on the form when you're submitting a new posttest, when retaking a test with or without retaking the posttest.
