  The unequivocality test is a standard for distinguishing between preparation and attempt in a criminal $case.^{:683}$ When a person's conduct, in itself, shows that the person unequivocally and without reasonable doubt, actually intends to carry out a crime, then the conduct is a criminal attempt to commit that $crime.^{:683}$
