Normal practice, or a Simulated test
The same questions, either way. Normal practice teaches; the simulated test tells you where you stand.
Normal
UntimedEvery question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.
- No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
- Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
- Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
- Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.
Simulated
Timed CBTThe computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.
- A clock that does not pause. 160 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
- Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
- Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
- Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.
