It contains important information related to the administration of the examination. As you may know, the examination is used for purposes of licensing and is administered by the International Hearing Society (IHS) on behalf of your state/provincial licensing board.  \nPlease read the Study Guide carefully, and follow the instructions given. In addition to the pertinent information about what to expect before, during, and after the examination, the Study Guide also provides you with a list of recommended reference materials and sample test questions that you may find helpful.  \nTo give you a brief overview, the examination is comprised of one hundred and five (105) multiple-choice questions. You will receive a score based on eighty (80) scored items. Dichotomous scoring is used for grading the examination, which means the answer options are either right or wrong. You will earn one (1) point for each right answer and earn zero (0) points for each wrong answer. Please note that there are a few questions on the exam that request selection of multiple correct responses. For example, if the question asks, “Which two”, you must select the two (2) correct answer options in order to earn (1) one point for that question. For more information, please continue reading this Study Guide.  \nShould you have any questions, please contact your licensing board or the International Hearing Society. We wish you the very best in your journey to become a dispensing hearing care provider.  \nSincerely,  \nInternational Hearing Society  \nInternational Hearing Society  \n16880 Middlebelt Road, Suite 4 Livonia, MI 48154  \nPhone [734.522.7200 Fax 734.522.0200 www.ihsinfo.org](734.522.7200 Fax 734.522.0200 www.ihsinfo.org)  \nTable of Contents  \nWelcome Letter…...…………………………………………………………………………………….2  \nIntroduction………………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nAbout the International Hearing Society (IHS)  \nAbout the Study Guide  \nAbout the Exam  \nDescription of a Successful Candidate  \nExamination Composition  \nPreparing for the Examination  \nExam Process-How does it work?…...……………………………….……………………....……..8  \nReference Material……………………………………………………………………...……..…..…..9  \nILE Test Prep……………………………………………………………………………………………..10  \nCompetency Model………………………………………………………………………………….11  \nAcronyms/Abbreviations List .………………………………………………………………………. 15  \nBefore the Examination…………………...………………………………………………....………18  \nNon-Discrimination  \nAccommodation Request Form  \nCreating a Test-Taker Account  \nScheduling an Examination Appointment  \nRescheduling an Appointment  \nCancellations  \nNo-Shows  \nTaking the Examination   34  \nIdentification and Authorization Code  \nTaking the Examination  \nTest Aids  \nExamination Security  \nAfter the Examination   37  \nExamination Scoring  \nResults  \nRe-Takes  \nScore Reporting  \nScore Verification  \nSample Test Questions………………………………………………………………………………..39  \nHow to Analyze and Correctly Answer Exam Questions  \nSample Test Questions & Answer Key  \nWebassessor Help – common and technical issues…..………………………………………..49  \nFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)………………………………………………………………..52  \nIntroduction  \nAbout the International Hearing Society (IHS)  \nThe International Hearing Society (IHS) is a membership association that represents hearing healthcare professionals worldwide.
