How to start and complete assessments
Personal Plan subscribers can follow the steps below to start and complete assessments:
1. To get started, you can access assessments on the Assessments tab on your Udemy home page or your My learning page. You can also search for assessments on the Udemy marketplace by searching for relevant topics, for example, AWS.
2. To choose an assessment, click Take assessment on the assessment card.
3. When you're ready to begin, click Start assessment.
3. Each assessment includes around 30 multiple-choice or multi-select questions and will take approximately 25 minutes to complete.
- If you skip a question, the topic will be marked as an area for improvement. Both skipped questions and incorrect answers will influence the recommended lectures provided at the end of the assessment.
- If you exit the assessment before answering all the questions and come back within 24 hours, you can pick up where you left off. Otherwise, you can start a new assessment and will see a different set of questions.
4. For each assessment, you have two attempts available per 24 hours.

By limiting assessment attempts, we aim to help you make the most out of your learning experience by encouraging you to take the time to engage with the learning content on Udemy. You can then re-apply your newly solidified knowledge when retaking the assessment.
5. Once you’ve completed the assessment, you will be brought to the results page, where you can view your overall score and dive into detailed explanations for each question.
6. You'll also see a course recommended on the results page of the assessment. Once enrolled, you will see personalized guidance based on recommended areas of focus. Click Enroll now to jump into your personalized course recommendation.
7. Once you’re in the recommended course, you can see specific sections highlighted for you based on your skill set. The specific sections will be notated by a chevron symbol.
