How the mock test works

  1. You get 24 questions on a 45 minutes timer, the same as the real exam.
  2. In practice mode you see whether each answer was right immediately, with an explanation. In exam mode there is no feedback until the end.
  3. Questions are chosen adaptively: topics you have struggled with before come up more often.
  4. At the end you get a pass or fail verdict, a topic-by-topic breakdown, and a full review of every question.
