Preparing for the Revised RICA Written Examination

A practice test for the RICA Written Examination is available as an additional resource to help candidates effectively prepare for the test by selecting "Written Examination Practice Test" on the RICA Web site. The practice test provides a sample test form consisting of 60 multiple-choice questions and five constructed-response assignments. Also included are an answer key for the multiple-choice questions, sample responses to the constructed-response assignments, and evaluations of the sample responses for the constructed-response assignments. The primary purpose of the practice test is to help candidates become familiar with the structure and content of the test and identify areas in which to focus their studies.

Preparing for the Revised RICA Video Performance Assessment

A RICA Video Performance Assessment Information Guide, which provides a detailed description of the requirements of the revised RICA Video Performance Assessment and the steps it entails, is available on the RICA Web site by selecting "Video Performance Assessment Information Guide." The information guide is derived from and is very similar to the RICA Video Performance Assessment Procedures Manual, which candidates receive after registering for the Video Performance Assessment. The purpose of the information guide is to provide candidates and others with more detailed information about the Video Performance Assessment. The information guide is for informational purposes only. Registered candidates must follow the directions provided in the RICA Video Performance Assessment Procedures Manual.
