Dear Counselor,

In the practice exam, not all questions have a direct correlation to specific modules in the training content. The test question title information (i.e., A.1.1.1) does not directly identify a specific module. Many questions relate to content from multiple modules.

Sincerely,

The HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov Support Team
