About the MIT Assessment Test
The Metrologist in Training (MIT) test is an internationally approved assessment designed to assist in the development of the skills needed to pass the industry recognized Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) Certification Exam. The MIT test is modeled on the CMS Level-One Certification Examination so that a test taker will experience the same online test environment, and encounter questions distributed across the same body of knowledge as the Certification Exam. The test score is broken down by category within the body of knowledge. This will identify to the test taker their strengths and weaknesses within the five major breakout categories outlined in the CMS Certification. A high score on the MIT test is an indicator that the test taker is on the right path to becoming an expert dimensional metrologist.
This practice test costs $100 and consists of 81 multiple-choice questions that must be completed within 90 minutes. Test results are confidential; they are only used to help you decide if you’re ready for the certification exam, or in which areas of the test you should further prepare before taking the exam. The MIT test is not a prerequisite to taking the CMS Level-One Certification Exam.
