This course consists of two components - an ungraded review mode, which includes 300 questions and answers that will help you to quiz yourself on the included topics, and a graded continuing education mode, which includes 60 questions selected at random from the questions included in review mode. The graded mode carries CE credit, but the review does not. You'll need to complete the graded mode in order to receive the listed continuing education credit. The review mode can be accessed as many times as you like, and the graded mode can be repeated until you reach a passing score.
